In Phase I, Metron developed a mathematical approach to tactical decision making based on Bayesian inference and control theory. This theory was demonstrated on three, related one-on-one, submarine engagement problems. The tactics developed in Phase Iare one-sided. The target does not react to the presence or tactics of the friendly ship. The goal of the Phase II work is to extend the Phase I ...

Not Available A new type of miniature and light weight, 100 GHz Radio Frequency (RF), optical interconnects and free space data links are proposed. To achieve this goal, we will use our advanced, InGaAs / InP detector - amplifier MMIC Opto-electronic Integrated Circuits (OEICs). In Phase I, we will design and simulate a new class of 100 GHz, InGaAs / InP detector - amplifier - planar antenna OE ...

In this Phase II SBIR effort, Metron designs and develops an intent inference algorithm, an algorithm that infers the intent of the pilot of an aircraft that is being tracked by a surveillance system. Data describing the environment around the aircraft, for instance, the location of nearby aircraft, weather, Navaids, alternate airports, turbulence, and operational data are used to determine plausi ...

Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) embodies a new philosophy for managing air traffic. The initial implementation of CDM has been aimed at airport Ground Delay Programs (GDPs). However, it has become increasingly evident that very significant delays and throughput degradations have arisen from en-route airspace problems and limitations, particularly from convective weather activity. This effort f ...

Aircraft noise mitigation is a major issue in the design and establishment of departure procedures in busy terminal areas. Even with the establishment of Noise Abatement procedures, there is a significant need for improvement in the mitigation of noise created by aircraft operations. Some Noise Abatement procedures are difficult to implement for the controller, pilot, or both. In such cases, autom ...
