![]() ![]() In histories of Cold War technopolitics, both of these case studies have frequently been presented as exemplars of the application of a quantitative, computational rationality to the planning and conduct of military strategy. I focus on the role played by photo interpreters and systems analysts in the collection and verification of data used to confirm so-called 'vehicular activity' and 'truck kills'. The second case study turns to the US Air Force's 'anti-infiltration' programme that targeted and bombed convoy routes used by the North Vietnamese Army to deliver supplies into South Vietnam. In the absence of an actual Soviet invasion, SAGE crews fought simulated air wars while the effectiveness of their collective performance was systematically quantified. Firstly, I examine the operational principles established for Air Force crews in the SAGE system deployed in the late-1950s, tracing their elaboration within a series of psychological studies of stress led by psychologists at the RAND Corporation. I explore the discursive terrain occupied by the human operator through an analysis of two command and control systems, selected for their significance in employing digital computers to automate previously manual military practices. The digital computer, although then still very much the highly protean object of military-industrial-university research networks, was repeatedly proposed as a crucial technology that would allow for greater and more accurate control of the battlefield. ![]() As understood within the discourse of defence research, command and control involved the efficient capture and management of information from the battlefield in the pursuit of a particular military strategy. This thesis examines the role of the human operator in command and control systems designed and developed for the US Air Force during the 1950s and 1960s. The obtained results show that the Neural-Fuzzy controller is much more sensitive, more resistant to turbulence, and can be used on different sizes, weights, and configurations of drones without adjusting PID gain. In this paper, Matlab/Simulink is used to describe the operation of the Drone, and the characteristics obtained after using the simulation are used to compare, test, and analyze the system. Presentation on stable flight control and trajectory control of marine rescue drones. The paper presents the mathematics of a quadcopter described by the Newton-Euler equations. To overcome the above problem, the author has proposed the application of a Neural-Fuzzy controller for unmanned marine rescue aircraft presented in this paper introduces a controller that combines neural networks and fuzzy controllers that enhance the efficiency of the drone’s trajectory tracking. When operating at sea, marine rescue drones are often affected by the environment, especially wind, which leads to turbulence that causes the drone to deviate from its predetermined flight trajectory. In the maritime sector too, especially marine rescue, a Drone with a compact size and fast flight speed is an effective solution in search and surveillance, giving quick results and being very convenient. Primary Function: Armed reconnaissance, airborne surveillance, and target acquisitionĬontractor: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.In recent years, the research on drones has increased rapidly because of its high applicability in many fields and its great development potential. During August 2011, Predator passed its one millionth total development, test, training, and combat hours mark – a significant accomplishment for the US Air Force. The ‘1’ refers to the aircraft being the first of the series of remotely piloted aircraft systems.Ī change in designation from RQ-1 to MQ-1 occurred in 2002 with the addition of the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles. The ‘M’ is the DOD designation for multi-role, and ‘Q’ means unmanned aircraft system. The ‘R’ is the Department of Defence (DOD) designation for reconnaissance aircraft. In April 1996, the secretary of defence selected the US Air Force as the operating service for the RQ-1 Predator system. The Predator system was designed in response to a Department of Defence requirement to provide persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance information combined with a kill capability to the war-fighter.
