Army Phase I: High Performance Observers for Rotorcraft

Dec. 2004:  TSi was recently awarded a Phase I SBIR contract by the US Army Aviation Applied Technology Directorate, Fort Eustis, Virginia, to develop high performance observers for rotorcraft platforms. The objective of the project is the development of a reliable methodology to implement analytical redundancy in rotorcraft platforms. Techno-Sciences, Inc.(TSi) proposes the development of sensor reconfiguration based on systematic and verifiable principles of estimator design. Supervisory control architecture needed to implement and evaluate the techniques is addressed. In Phase I all the techniques are being demonstrated using adequately constructed simulations and a rotorcraft platform as a benchmark. Phase II will focus on transition of proposed techniques to other rotorcraft platforms. The overall effort will be useful for all Department of defense unmanned and manned vehicle platforms.
