Advances in Computational Intelligence and Autonomy for Aerospace Systems

2018

Chapter: Famularo, Douglas, Whitney, Sean G., <b>Valasek, John</b>, Muse, Jonathan A., Bolender, Michael A., “Handling Inlet Unstart in Hypersonic Vehicles Using Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion Adaptive Control with State Constraints”

From AIAA:

“A follow-on volume to Advances in Intelligent and Autonomous Aerospace Systems (AIAA, 2012) Advances in Computational Intelligence and Autonomy for Aerospace Systems seeks to provide both the aerospace researcher and the practicing aerospace engineer with further insight into the latest innovative methods and approaches regarding intelligent and autonomous aerospace systems. Written by leading researchers in the field, it focuses on:

Intelligent Space Systems
Intelligent Validation and Verification Methods
Intelligent Health Monitoring
Intelligent Flight Control

Research advances in embedded computational intelligence, communication, control, and new mechanisms for sensing, actuation, and adaptation hold the promise to transform aerospace. The result will be air and space vehicles, propulsion systems, exploration systems, and vehicle management systems that respond more quickly, provide large-scale distributed coordination, work in dangerous or inaccessible environments, and augment human capabilities.“
