This paper presents a method to introduce linear holding to flights affected by Airspace Flow Program (AFP) initiatives. Trajectories are optimized at their planning stage in such a way that the program performance is ...

When an airliner and a Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) have conflicting courses that may compromise the minimum safety separation between them, how much in advance should the RPAS start the separation manoeuvre? Which ...

This paper introduces a linear holding strategy based on prior works on cruise speed reduction, aimed at performing airborne delay at no extra fuel cost, as a complementary strategy to current ground and airborne holding ...

In this paper aspects of non linear systems and flat control are studied for a specific application of a satellite fine pointing breadboard based on semi active magnetic bearings actuators. Authors propose a complete 6 ...

The Monitor project has been designed to monitor ionospheric events that would allow evaluating its impact on European GNSS Systems. It includes a network of ionospheric scintillation monitoring stations in various locations ...

Standard state estimation techniques, either for linear or nonlinear systems, typically assume a perfect knowledge of the system, i.e., known process and measurement functions, and the corresponding noise statistics. The ...

This study presents a sensitivity analysis to model mismatch of an interacting multiple model (IMM) filter when used for aircraft guidance modes identification. The mismatch appears in the guidance command parameters ...
