To meet the exceptionally high throughput requirements of dod strategic/tactical aircraft in the 1990's it is necessary to develop highly parallel (or distributed) flight control systems. because the computer architectures of such systems tend to be problem driven to achieve the necessary… More

Target tracking and navigation equeipment such as the gps contain a kalman filter which either acts to smooth data when the unit is unaided, or as an estimating filter when inertial data are accepted. the need to integrate multiple sensors results in a hybrid system with extremely large… More

The loading of munitions, particularly during battle, is a major application of robotics. the loading process, although seemingly simple, is most difficult under attack for a human operator in the presence of physical disturbances such as chemical/biological warfare, rain, heavy wind and lack of… More

To meet the high thoughput requirements of dod signal processing applications, highly parallel architectures need to be developed. in particular, to perform multidimensional kalman filtering at sample rates approaching 15 khz innovative techniques are needed to partition the problem for real-time… More

Future generations of navy combat systems will deploy parallel and/or distributed processing architectures. system design and, in particular, software design and programming for these environments will be orders of magnitude more difficult than anything we face now. the proposed effort, therefore,… More
