Show moreThe use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance as well as in search and rescue is rapidly expanding in both civilian and military applications at an unprecedented rate which was not foreseen a decade ago. Accordingly, there are significant job opportunities in this field and it is expected that this will continue to grow in the next decade. However, the design of UAS is truly an interdisciplinary task as it requires an excellent team work with expertise in diverse areas ranging from aircraft design to autonomous flight, video and data transmission to visual object recognition, the operation of ground station such as real time data analysis and antenna tracking as well as legal/policy aspects of UAS flight operations.

Title: SHIP STATE AND COVARIANCE PROPAGATION USING TIME SERIES ANALYSIS AND FORECASTING

Show moreThe Navy's Unmanned Combat Aerial System (N-UCAS) program is currently developing technology for autonomous shipboard landing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A high accuracy and high integrity relative navigation algorithm using carrier phase di erential GPS measurements and high rate inertial sensor data has been implemented to land the UAV. Such an algorithm requires ship state information to be broadcast to the aircraft via a VHF data link. The data link is susceptible to failure for reasons such as interference from jamming. This thesis considers the problem of precise ship state propagation on board an aircraft during a data link outage occuring when it is too late for the aircraft to abort its landing approach. Accurately quantifying the estimate error covariance is important for a high integrity and accuracy navigation algorithm. Therefore this thesis focuses on algorithms that can propagate the ship state as well as determine the propagation error covariance. Initially, a simple state propagation using kinematic equations for linear motion is tested. Seakeeping and Maneuvering theories used to model the dynamics of a sea vessel are also considered. However, analysis shows that due to constraints imposed by a data link outage and complexity in accurately modeling some parameters in the ship dynamic model, these two approaches are infeasible. As an alternative to kinematic and dynamic modeling, Time Series Analysis and Forecasting methods for ship state propagation are investigated. This work introduces parametric modeling and forecasting of a time series using linear stochastic models. Maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) and outer product of gradients (OPG) algorithms are implemented for faithful parameterization of time series using ARIMA models. Expressions for forecasting and forecast error variance quanti cation are also developed. These algorithms are then tested using ship data provided by the N-UCAS program.
