  • The Signal Processing and Applied Mathematics research group at the Nevada National Security Site, is seeking to collaborate with students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to develop advanced data analytics methods for characterizing seismic events in the southwest United States as near-field earthquakes, far-field earthquakes, or non-natural seismic events, using publicly available seismic data.
ERAU Industrial Math Project: OneSky Optimization

  • PI Mihhail Berezovski

    CO-I Jose Gachancipa Parga

    CO-I Timothy Mitchell

    CO-I Ian Young

    CO-I Ian Mungovan

  • OneSky Flight supports the technology needs of five established private jet brands: Flexjet, Sentient Jet, SkyJet, PrivateFly, and Sirio. One key function required by these businesses is fleet optimization. The ultimate goal for the OneSky Optimization project is to create a new optimizer that works across all of the OneSky brands.
Evaluating Preflight Weather Briefing Strategies

  • PI Elizabeth Blickensderfer

    CO-I Thomas Guinn

    CO-I Robert Thomas

  • The objective of this grant is to examine General Aviation (GA) pilots’ capability to conduct Preflight Weather self-briefings as compared to using Flight Services to obtain weather briefings. Previous research indicates that GA pilots are increasingly conducting weather self-briefings during preflight (Duke et al., 2019). Additional research indicates that GA pilots have moderately low performance when interpreting aviation weather observation and forecast products (Blickensderfer et al., 2019). Research is needed to assess and understand the attitudes, knowledge, and performance of GA pilots conducting self-briefings to identify possible gaps and, in turn, provide recommendations for future system design and pilot training.
Evaluating Simulation Tools to Study the Impact of Space Shuttle Launch on the National Air Transportation System

  • PI Ahmed Abdelghany

  • The objective of this project is to provide a comparative study to evaluate the functionalities of the available airspace simulation tools.
Examining Unstable Approach Predictors Using Flight Data Monitoring Information

  • PI David Carroll

    CO-I David Esser

  • The approach and landing phase of flight is statistically the most dangerous part of flying. While it only accounts for 4% of flight time, it represents 49% of commercial jet mishaps. One key to mitigating the risks involved in this flight segment is the stabilized approach. A stabilized approach requires meeting rigorous standards for many flight parameters as the aircraft nears landing. Exceeding any of these parameters results in an unstable approach (UA). The energy management (EM) accomplished by the flight crew, represented by the EM variables in the study, influences the execution of a stabilized approach.

Experimental Identification of Plasma Wave Modes

  • PI Heidi Nykyri

    CO-I Rachel Rice

  • Project uses MMS data to identify plasma wave modes contributing  to the heating of the magnetospheric boundary layer
Experimental Identification of Plasma Wave Modes in Vicinity of KH Vortices and in Plasma ’Mixing’ Regions in Low Latitude Boundary Layer (Ion scales)

  • PI Heidi Nykyri

Experimental Testbed for the Validation of Autonomous ISAM/OSAM Systems

  • PI Morad Nazari

    CO-I Kadriye Merve Dogan

    CO-I Thomas Lovell

  • The ability to validate individual hardware and software components of these technologies on a large scale is still in its early stages. Thus, the goal of this research is to establish an effective experimental testbed for the validation of autonomous in-space servicing and maintenance (ISAM) / on-orbit servicing and maintenance (OSAM) systems.
