An Integrated, Multi-Layer Approach to Software-Enabled Control:
Mission Planning to Vehicle Control
Technical Transition: 2000
Provided Boeing with an innovative distributed Matlab/Simulink execution
environment. Collaborated with the Boeing team to integrate the environment
into the OCP, extending the solution in the areas of computing platform
independence, inter-process communications flexibility, and integratability of
pluggable simulation components. These contributions will form a key part of the
simulation environment that Boeing is delivering on the OCP contract to the
SEC research community.

Synthesized a flight controller for the Gulfstream V using the LPV techniques
developed under the DARPA SEC program as part of the NASA Aviation Safety
Control and Upset Management Program. This work is being performed under
the Lockheed-Martin AIMSAFE program. NASA and Lockheed-Martin view
parameter dependent system theory as a potential unifying approach to on-line
health monitoring and identification, fault detection, reconfiguration or
adaptation and flight control.
