This paper presents a methodology for performing dynamic and parametric scanning operations for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) on remote sensing missions. Most UAS autopilots only support elemental waypoint-based guidance, ...

This paper analyzes loss of separation scenarios when an Unmanned Aircraft (UA) enters in conflict with a much faster airplane flying at the same altitude. Separation distances are analyzed in terms of minimum heading ...

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology demonstrated that AI algorithms are very powerful as AI models become more complex. As a result, the users and also the engineers who developed the AI algorithms ...

Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) are becoming viable aerial platforms for civil oriented monitoring applications. However, in most cases the selected UAS platforms are ad-hoc vehicles which include highly heterogeneous avionics. ...

Nowadays, it is quite common to have one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) working on a task but having a team of UAVs is still rare. One of the problems that prevent us from using teams of UAVs more frequently is flight ...

The incorporation of timing makes circuit verification computationally expensive. This paper proposes a new approach for the verification of timed circuits. Rather than calculating the exact timed stare space, a conservative ...

This paper presents the hardware design and integration process employed to develop an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) helicopter. The design process evolves from the bare airframe (without any electronics), to become a ...

This work introduces a flexible and reusable architecture designed to facilitate the development of remote sensing applications. Based on it, we are developing a helicopter system, called Red-Eye, devoted to the detection, ...
