What Is the Return on Investment of Digital Engineering for Complex Systems Development Schedules? Findings From a Mixed‐Methods Case Study on the Post‐Production Design Change Processes of Navy Assets

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complex engineered systems routinely face schedule and cost overruns, along with poor post‐deployment performance. Both INCOSE and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) have championed Digital Engineering (DE) as a potential remedy, yet most of DE's purported benefits remain anecdotal, and its return on investment (ROI) remains poorly ...

Future of edge AI in biodiversity monitoring

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Many ecological decisions are slowed by the gap between collecting and analysing biodiversity information. Edge computing moves data processing closer to the sensor, with edge artificial intelligence (AI) using AI models for data processing and selective data transfer.

Research with Collaborative Unmanned Aircraft Systems

open access: yes, 2010
We provide an overview of ongoing research which targets development of a principled framework for mixed-initiative interaction with unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). UASs are now becoming technologically mature enough to be integrated into civil society.

Optimizing equity and efficiency in the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This study addresses the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem, formulated as the strategic prepositioning of a heterogeneous aerial firefighting fleet across capacity‐constrained airbases. A novel bi‐objective model is proposed that simultaneously optimizes efficiency (aggregate risk‐weighted accessibility) and equity (minimized ...

Design and simulation of GPS assisted smart antenna for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

open access: yesACI Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías, 2013
A critical component of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is the communications system. It is in charge of transmitting information from the aircraft to the base station and sending configurations to the aircraft.

Law and Infrastructure: Reliability, Automation Transition, and Irregularities of “U‐Space”

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The European Union (EU) is making regulatory efforts to allow for the safe integration of drones into civilian airspace through automated means. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/664 concerning unmanned traffic management (a system referred to as “U‐Space”) furthers that commitment. Accordingly, drone operators must avail themselves

Regulating Autonomous Weapon Systems: Searching for African Solutions to Regional and Global Problems

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), while offering strategic advantages in warfare, pose significant ethical, legal, and security risks, especially for countries in the Global South. This article examines how a philosophical perspective, rooted in African ethical and political thought, can enrich regional and global debates on regulating ...
