Book Intelligent Command and Control Systems for Satellite Ground Operations

Download or read book Intelligent Command and Control Systems for Satellite Ground Operations written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-29 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgia Tech portion of the Intelligent Control Center project includes several complementary activities. Two major activities entail thesis level research; the other activities are either support activities or preliminary explorations (e.g., task analyses) to support the research. The first research activity is the development of principles for the design of active interfaces to support monitoring during real-time supports. It is well known that as the operator's task becomes less active, i.e., more monitoring and less active control, there is concern that the operator will be less involved and less able to rapidly identify anomalous or failure situations. The research project to design active monitoring interfaces is an attempt to remediate this undesirable side-effect of increasingly automated control systems that still depend ultimately on operator supervision. The second research activity is the exploration of the use of case-based reasoning as a way to accumulate operator experience and make it available in computational form. Mitchell, Christine M.

Download or read book Spying from Space written by David Christopher Arnold and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-12 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 14, 1960, a revolution quietly occurred in the reconnaissance capabilities of America. When the Air Force C-119 Flying Boxcar Pelican 9 caught a bucket returning from space with film from a satellite, the American intelligence community gained access to previously denied information about the Soviet Union. The Corona reconnaissance satellite missions that followed lifted the veil of secrecy from the communist bloc, revealing, among other things, that no “Missile Gap” existed. This revolution in military intelligence could not have occurred without the development of the command and control systems that made the Space Race possible. In Spying from Space, David Christopher Arnold tells the story of how military officers and civilian contractors built the Air Force Satellite Control Facility (AFSCF) to support the National Reconnaissance Program. The AFSCF also had a unique relationship with the National Reconnaissance Office, a secret organization that the U.S. government officially concealed as late as the 1990s. Like every large technology system, the AFSCF evolved as a result of the interaction of human beings with technology and with each other. Spying from Space fills a gap in space history by telling the story of the command and control systems that made rockets and satellites useful. Those interested in space flight or intelligence efforts will benefit from this revealing look into a little-known aspect of American achievement. Those fascinated by how large, complex organizations work will also find this an intriguing study of inter-service rivalries and clashes between military and civilian cultures.

Book Artificial Intelligence and Simulation

Download or read book Artificial Intelligence and Simulation written by Tag G. Kim and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-01-31 with total page 725 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 13th International Conference on AI, Simulation, and Planning in High Autonomy Systems, AIS 2004, held in Jeju Island, Korea in October 2004. The 74 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 170 submissions; after the conference, the papers went through another round of revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on modeling and simulation methodologies, intelligent control, computer and network security, HLA and simulator interoperation, manufacturing, agent-based modeling, DEVS modeling and simulation, parallel and distributed modeling and simulation, mobile computer networks, Web-based simulation and natural systems, modeling and simulation environments, AI and simulation, component-based modeling, watermarking and semantics, graphics, visualization and animation, and business modeling.

Book Realizing the Potential of C4I

Download or read book Realizing the Potential of C4I written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-06-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid progress in information and communications technologies is dramatically enhancing the strategic role of information, positioning effective exploitation of these technology advances as a critical success factor in military affairs. These technology advances are drivers and enablers for the "nervous system" of the militaryâ€"its command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systemsâ€"to more effectively use the "muscle" side of the military. Authored by a committee of experts drawn equally from the military and commercial sectors, Realizing the Potential of C4I identifies three major areas as fundamental challenges to the full Department of Defense (DOD) exploitation of C4I technologyâ€"information systems security, interoperability, and various aspects of DOD process and culture. The book details principles by which to assess DOD efforts in these areas over the long term and provides specific, more immediately actionable recommendations. Although DOD is the focus of this book, the principles and issues presented are also relevant to interoperability, architecture, and security challenges faced by government as a whole and by large, complex public and private enterprises across the economy.

Book The Application of Cybernetics to the Ground Segment for Space Operations

Download or read book The Application of Cybernetics to the Ground Segment for Space Operations written by Larry Bruce Rainey and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation has two research objectives. the first is to design and develop a command, control, communication and intelligence system for the Air Force Satellite Control Network. the second is to develop a computer simulation of the satellite operations in Mission Control Complex-2 as a demonstration of the modeling that should be done by the 2d Space Wing. First, Stafford Beer's Viable System Model will be applied to develop an infrastructure for a command, control, communication and intelligence system for the Air Force Satellite Control Network. Second, the discrete event Simulation Language for Alternative Modeling will be used to construct the plant model of Mission Control Complex-2. the Commander of the 2d Space Wing is the executive manager of the Air Force Satellite Control Network. Five days out of the week individual units report to the Commander the number of and reason for failed and lost satellite supports. Also, members of the Commander's staff brief him on the status of the Satellite Control Network. In addition, each month individual units of the 2d Space Wing report to the Commander their performance in terms of lost and failed supports for personnel errors, procedure errors, hardware failures and software failures. This reporting occurs in a forum called the "trends briefing." From an overall command and control perspective, there are four problems that the researcher perceives to exist. First, the scope of the 2d Space Wing is not the same as the Air Force Satellite Control Network; therefore, there is split allegiance in terms of defining a unity of command for the Air Force Satellite Control Network. Second, there is not a common agreement on the definition of the Air Force Satellite Control Network; therefore, there is a lack of unified management control. Third, there are no measures of performance in place to effectively manage the mission control centers; therefore, the validity of the current information system is questionable as to its intended purpose. Finally, there is not a dedicated long range planning organization, for the Air Force Satellite Control Network, within the 2d Space Wing; therefore, there exists the lack of unified long range planning.
