The analysis of large amount of sensor data can enhance aircraft operations and maintenance. In contrast to other use cases, aircraft sensor data are accumulated on-board during the flight. The data need to be transferred in a short time while the aircraft is on the ground due to limited and expensive connectivity in the air. This leads to a massive transfer of data in a short time. Therefore, we analyze

Cognitive radio (CR) was coined to address evolving user needs two decades ago. Since then, it also has been considered a way to mitigate perceived spectrum scarcity in various application areas. In this article, the status of military CR research is assessed through a systematic literature review of 193 articles, from 2013 to 2020, using IEEE thematic topics, technology readiness levels, as well as

The development and demonstration of a hybrid battery/supercapacitor energy storage system (ESS) onboard the Earth-orbiting CubeSat JPL/CSUNSat1 is described. The ESS is capable of supporting high power pulse currents (>10C-rate) at low temperature (<–40 °C). The primary operational phase of the technology demonstration mission includes the performance characterization of the ESS at various discharge

The software loading occurs when a new software version corrects previously identified errors to include new functionalities to airborne systems, such as those embedded in aircraft. The available literature has not yet scientifically addressed the characteristics of Loadable Airborne Systems (LASs). Although the RTCA DO-178 introduced the concept of field-loadable software, which is the possibility

This article describes the phenomenon of the abnormal output current drop of a solar array (SA) of a low Earth orbit satellite. All possible failure causes were analyzed in detail and the most likely reason was determined to be an open-circuit in solar cell interconnectors. The failure mechanisms were comprehensively analyzed from three aspects: solar cell replacement process, erosion of atomic oxygen

The ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) is the cornerstone for enabling automated landings without the instrument landing system (ILS). Currently, GBAS is evolving to GBAS approach service type-D (GAST-D) for category III landings. This development toward GBAS GAST-D extends GBAS via the use of multiple frequencies (L1/L2 and L5) and the use of multiple global navigation satellite system constellations

The rise of augmented reality glasses and related technologies offers new possibilities for the human–machine interface design of future aircraft. Today, head-worn displays (HWDs) are mainly used by military pilots, for instance by helicopter crews for low-visibility operations close to ground and obstacles. Nevertheless, recent technological advances in this area allow the prediction that these systems

Required navigation performance procedures are a cost-effective and accurate solution for aircraft instrument approaches, especially when combined with a final approach segment utilizing satellite based augmentation. However, transport category aircraft are currently not equipped with the satellite based augmentation for precision guidance. An existing converter technology can provide this final approach

A comprehensive approach is offered for avionics engineering topics and curricula for educational activities that better meet contemporary aerospace industry requirements. These topics include a growing demand for airspace mobility services, the proliferation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and the required enhancements in avionics and air traffic management (ATM) design standards (hardware and

The current systems used to manage data in aviation industries are mostly centralized and fall short of ensuring trusted data provenance, immutability, transparency, auditablility, and traceability features. Blockchain is an emerging and disruptive technology that has a high potential to provide trusted traceability, transparency, auditability, and immutability for stored and exchanged data and transactions

Visual images are effective tools for monitoring the condition of spacecraft. In this article, we developed a low-cost, low impact, compact visual monitoring system using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices to perform critical situation monitoring of the Hayabusa2 touchdown mission. The in situ performance of all devices for the touchdown mission, such as the field programmable gate array, complementary

We give an overview of the EDA CAT B R&D project “Signal Processing for Enhanced Radar Imaging” (SPERI). In this project, the benefits of applying two super-resolution methods Super Spatially Variant Apodization (SSVA) and Compressed Sensing (CS) to two-dimensional Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) images of airborne radar targets were investigated with respect to the improvements in automatic

This article demonstrates global positioning system (GPS) spoofing with a commercial, off-the-shelf software-defined radio (SDR) emitter fitted with a local oscillator exhibiting a stability consistent with the medium-term (0.01–1 000 s) stability of atomic clocks on GPS satellite systems. Computationally efficient means of detecting spoofing is then addressed, namely codeless spoofing detection by

The aim of this article is to set the values of permissible delays in the remote-control (RC) channel of unmanned aerial systems (in particular, remotely piloted aircraft systems) that are directly controlled to perform typical flight tasks (e.g. takeoff, climb, cruise, landing) and are not related to racing. The absence of such requirements does not allow to unequivocally draw conclusions about the

The FuG 200 Hohentwiel was the principal airborne maritime reconnaissance radar used by the German Luftwaffe between 1943 and 1945. The radar was manufactured on a large scale, at up to 150 per month, and was continuously developed during the later war years. It was used on maritime reconnaissance and anti-shipping aircraft, including the Ju 88, Ju 188, Fw 200, He 111, Do 217, and Ju 290. The design
