The study first elucidated capabilities that can be realized by manned-unmanned teams. A design reference mission for a manned-unmanned team (strike) operation was developed, enabling operational activity and functional analysis of the expanded kill chain. Simulation models were built to examine the time-efficiencies of the manned-unmanned teaming concept. This research used insights from the results of the models to explore alternatives in asset generation and systems link-up tactics. The analysis of strike operations cycle times that include total mission operations time, airborne time, and time to complete systems link-up provided data to generate recommendations. Besides identifying areas on which to focus efficiency improvement efforts, this study also proposes tactics and concept of operations to enhance the effectiveness of strike operations by manned-unmanned teams.

In this thesis, a distributed CL algorithm is implemented on a swarm of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using an Extended Kalman Filter. Using a technique created for ground robots, the equations are modified to adapt the algorithm to aerial vehicles, and then operation of the algorithm is demonstrated in a centralized system using AR Drones and the Robot Operating System. During tests, the positional accuracy of the UAV using CL improved over use of dead reckoning. However, the performance is not as expected based on the results noted from the referenced two-dimensional application of the al-gorithm.

It was discovered that the thickness of conventional armor, the presence of explosive reactive armor, active protection systems, the mobility of the armored vehicles, and the presence a heavy force structure were important to the survivability and performance of the armored platforms. These insights are of importance to military commanders and planners.", "thesisType": "Thesis", "university": "Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School", "place": "", "date": "2014-09", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "numPages": "", "DOI": "", "ISBN": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "https://calhoun.nps.edu/handle/10945/43914", "accessDate": "2014-12-15T16:28:23Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "calhoun.nps.edu", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited", "tags": [], "collections": [ "EVQQXWXB" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-12-15T16:28:23Z", "dateModified": "2014-12-15T16:28:23Z" } }, { "key": "TGKRRZNX", "version": 202, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 128989, "name": "CRUSER_CoI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/TGKRRZNX", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi/items/TGKRRZNX", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1254657, "username": "ljtrawic", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ljtrawic", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Wanier", "parsedDate": "2014-09", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "TGKRRZNX", "version": 202, "itemType": "thesis", "title": "A modular simulation framework for assessing swarm search models", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Blake M.", "lastName": "Wanier" } ], "abstractNote": "The ability to utilize large numbers of unmanned systems as search agents allows the implementation of different search strategies that are not currently explored utilizing today’s search decision support and analysis tools.

By implementing a modular design, multiple aspects of the search, such as tactics, searcher characteristics, and target characteristics, can easily be varied and analyzed. Utilizing JMP to perform statistical analysis, future design requirements can be refined in order to advise decision makers on possible alternatives and trade spaces for optimizing swarm search performance.

As the domestic airspace is scheduled to be fully drone integrated by 2015, growing concerns over national security and privacy issues have highlighted the capabilities and potential implications of using UAS on a national scale. This thesis examines the potential effectiveness of utilizing domestic aerial surveillance to increase homeland security while addressing how, and to what level, these programs should be federally overseen and regulated without infringing on Americans' civil liberties. This thesis argues that large-scale UAS operations by federal agencies are cost-inefficient and lack tangible results, while state and local agency operations, which employ smaller systems in more specific situations, are less expensive and more effective. Current U.S. law allows for aerial surveillance by law enforcement, but updating privacy legislation to account for modern technology should be considered. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) needs to accelerate its working relationship with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and its UAS approval process to establish and maintain privacy safeguards to ensure the highest level of national security while minimizing civil liberty infringement.", "thesisType": "Thesis", "university": "Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School", "place": "", "date": "2014-03", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "numPages": "", "DOI": "", "ISBN": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://calhoun.nps.edu/public/handle/10945/41446", "accessDate": "2014-05-28T17:23:01Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Domestic aerial surveillance and homeland security", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "calhoun.nps.edu", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.", "tags": [ { "tag": "Unmanned Aircraft Systems", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "domestic", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "drones", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "effectiveness", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "privacy", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "security", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "surveillance", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "EVQQXWXB" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-28T17:23:01Z", "dateModified": "2014-05-28T17:23:01Z" } }, { "key": "R3VEN5U9", "version": 201, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 128989, "name": "CRUSER_CoI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/R3VEN5U9", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi/items/R3VEN5U9", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/JS8VDB38", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1254657, "username": "ljtrawic", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ljtrawic", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "R3VEN5U9", "version": 201, "parentItem": "JS8VDB38", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "imported_url", "title": "Full Text PDF", "accessDate": "2014-05-28T17:22:25Z", "url": "http://calhoun.nps.edu/public/bitstream/10945/41420/1/14Mar_Moore_Jeanie.pdf", "note": "", "contentType": "application/pdf", "charset": "", "filename": "Moore - 2014 - Da Vinci's children take flight unmanned aircraft.pdf", "md5": null, "mtime": null, "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-28T17:22:25Z", "dateModified": "2014-05-28T17:23:00Z" } }, { "key": "AZ5J9BD3", "version": 201, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 128989, "name": "CRUSER_CoI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/AZ5J9BD3", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi/items/AZ5J9BD3", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/DBXTPGPD", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1254657, "username": "ljtrawic", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ljtrawic", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "AZ5J9BD3", "version": 201, "parentItem": "DBXTPGPD", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "imported_url", "title": "Snapshot", "accessDate": "2014-05-28T17:22:49Z", "url": "http://calhoun.nps.edu/public/handle/10945/41400", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "utf-8", "filename": "41400.html", "md5": null, "mtime": null, "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-28T17:22:49Z", "dateModified": "2014-05-28T17:22:49Z" } }, { "key": "DBXTPGPD", "version": 201, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 128989, "name": "CRUSER_CoI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/DBXTPGPD", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi/items/DBXTPGPD", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1254657, "username": "ljtrawic", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ljtrawic", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Jones", "parsedDate": "2014-03", "numChildren": 2 }, "data": { "key": "DBXTPGPD", "version": 201, "itemType": "thesis", "title": "An analysis of the defense acquisition strategy for unmanned systems", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Courtney David", "lastName": "Jones" } ], "abstractNote": "In the past 12 years of sustained conflict, the Department of Defense (DoD) has procured thousands of unmanned systems, from ordnance disposal robots to airborne surveillance platforms to unmanned cargo helicopters. These assets have saved countless lives and have become critical to DoD strategy. The health of the U.S. robotics industry must become a national strategic imperative in order to maintain technology dominance. The cyclical nature of DoD funding inevitably results in industry expansion and consolidation. The unmanned systems industry will be subject to consolidation pressures. Keeping unmanned system cost-per-copy low is critical; thus, economies of scale should be highly valued. However, premature robotics industry consolidation could threaten innovation and competition that will be critical for the U.S. military to maintain its dominance. With impending budget reductions, there will be increasing pressure to narrow down on robotics technologies to achieve efficiencies and reduce costs. However, to maintain the health of the robotics industry, the acquisition strategy must be contingent on the evolution of industry.

Nonmilitary uses for UAS range from agriculture services to entertainment purposes, and include tasks as mundane as inspecting gutters and as consequential as fighting fires. Outside of the safety issues that accompany many breakthrough technologies, the effort to integrate UAS into national airspace is enmeshed in political, legal and economic policies that require careful navigation. Factors like cybersecurity and technological advancements will continue to influence the way UAS can be used. This thesis provides an orientation to the key considerations in UAS integration. Policy recommendations include early stakeholder engagement; a national data protection law; no-fly zones around private residences; clearly identifying UAS operators and owners; nonlethal payloads in national airspace; adapting current surveillance laws to UAS; a single, national privacy law to facilitate the free flow of commerce and coordination across state lines; a federal office in charge of monitoring data privacy; accountability of data collectors; limited exemptions for activities conducted in the interest of national security or to protect life and property; and managing cybersecurity risks.", "thesisType": "Thesis", "university": "Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School", "place": "", "date": "2014-03", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "numPages": "", "DOI": "", "ISBN": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://calhoun.nps.edu/public/handle/10945/41420", "accessDate": "2014-05-28T17:22:25Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Da Vinci's children take flight", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "calhoun.nps.edu", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.", "tags": [ { "tag": "Technology", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "UAV", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "Unmanned Aircraft Systems", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "change", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "civil liberties", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "civil liberty", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "future", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "human rights", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "innovation", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "policy", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "privacy", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "stakeholder engagement", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "unmanned aerial system", "type": 1 }, { "tag": "unmanned aerial vehicle", "type": 1 } ], "collections": [ "EVQQXWXB" ], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-28T17:22:25Z", "dateModified": "2014-05-28T17:22:25Z" } }, { "key": "NFSZAS3F", "version": 201, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 128989, "name": "CRUSER_CoI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/NFSZAS3F", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi/items/NFSZAS3F", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/T373QP7M", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1254657, "username": "ljtrawic", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ljtrawic", "type": "text/html" } } } }, "data": { "key": "NFSZAS3F", "version": 201, "parentItem": "T373QP7M", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "imported_url", "title": "Snapshot", "accessDate": "2014-05-28T17:22:15Z", "url": "http://calhoun.nps.edu/public/handle/10945/41375", "note": "", "contentType": "text/html", "charset": "utf-8", "filename": "41375.html", "md5": null, "mtime": null, "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-28T17:22:15Z", "dateModified": "2014-05-28T17:22:15Z" } }, { "key": "QQHRAQB9", "version": 201, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 128989, "name": "CRUSER_CoI", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/QQHRAQB9", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/cruser_coi/items/QQHRAQB9", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/128989/items/T373QP7M", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 1254657, "username": "ljtrawic", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/ljtrawic", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "QQHRAQB9", "version": 201, "parentItem": "T373QP7M", "itemType": "attachment", "linkMode": "imported_url", "title": "Full Text PDF", "accessDate": "2014-05-28T17:22:10Z", "url": "http://calhoun.nps.edu/public/bitstream/10945/41375/1/14Mar_Everly_Limmer_Includes_supplemental.pdf", "note": "", "contentType": "application/pdf", "charset": "", "filename": "", "md5": null, "mtime": null, "tags": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2014-05-28T17:22:10Z", "dateModified": "2014-05-28T17:22:10Z" } } ]
