    Abstract: A three-dimensional computer model of an environment is formed based on collected sensor data that includes at least one of image data of the environment and range data to objects in the environment. A plurality of candidate trajectories within the environment are generated based on the three-dimensional computer model. Rendered image data of the three-dimensional computer model and the plurality of candidate trajectories is formed. One of the candidate trajectories is selected based on the rendered image data and is utilized for controlling movement of a mobile platform.

    Abstract: An air data probe system can include a pitot static system configured to sense at least one total pressure value of a flow at one or more locations, at least one static pressure value of the flow at the one or more locations, and, directly or indirectly, at least one differential static pressure value of the flow at the one or more locations. The system can include an angle of slip (AOS) module configured to determine a local angle of slip (LAOS) value at each location based on the at least one total pressure value at each location, the at least one static pressure value at each location, and the at least one differential static pressure value at each location.

    Abstract: An acoustic sensor system for an aircraft, and method for operating the same, includes a transmitter, at least one microphone, and a control circuit. The transmitter is configured to emit acoustic signals external to the aircraft. The at least one microphone is positioned on an exterior of the aircraft and configured to sense the acoustic signals as sensed data. The control circuit is configured to receive the sensed data and control the transmitter through a drive circuit, and is configured to detect an environmental condition and control the transmitter to emit the acoustic signals at a reduced intensity based on the detected environmental condition.

    Abstract: A total air temperature probe includes a housing including an inlet scoop, an outlet, a main airflow passage extending from the inlet scoop to the outlet, an exit that extends through the housing, and a total air temperature sensor flow passage and a sensor assembly positioned in the total air temperature sensor flow passage. The main airflow passage includes an upper inlet surface extending from the inlet scoop, a lower inlet surface opposite the upper inlet surface and extending from the inlet scoop, an upper outlet surface extending from the upper inlet surface to the outlet, and a lower outlet surface opposite the upper outlet surface and extending from a split point in the housing to the outlet. The total air temperature sensor flow passage branches off from the main airflow passage and extends to the exit. The upper outlet surface is consistently concave toward the outlet.

    Abstract: A MEMS pressure sensor includes a first plate with a hole on a diaphragm bonded to the first plate around its rim with the diaphragm positioned over the hole. An isolation frame is bonded to the diaphragm and a second plate with a pillar is bonded to the isolation frame around its rim to form a cavity such that the end of the pillar in the cavity is proximate a surface of the diaphragm. The diaphragm and second plate form a capacitive sensor which changes output upon deflection of the diaphragm relative to the second plate.

    Abstract: A method of improving the measurement accuracy of a digital ice rate sensor by providing an enhanced surface finish on a magnetostrictive oscillator detector probe by measuring the surface roughness of the detector probe, comparing the measured value to a critical value, and authorizing the probe for use in the digital ice rate sensor if surface roughness is within the critical value. Surface roughness may be measured optically or with a surface profilometer. Remedial steps taken if surface roughness is not within the critical value include reworking the probe surface finish and investigating the manufacturing process.

    Abstract: An angle-of-attack sensor includes at least one acoustic transmitter is configured to provide an acoustic pulse. The first acoustic receiver is positioned at a radial distance from the at least one acoustic transmitter. The first acoustic receiver is configured to receive the acoustic pulse at a first time and provide a first receiver signal. The second acoustic receiver is positioned at the radial distance from the at least one acoustic transmitter aligned with an axis that extends through the at least one acoustic transmitter and the first acoustic receiver. The second acoustic receiver is configured to receive the acoustic pulse at a second time and provide a second receiver signal. The angle-of-attack circuitry is configured to determine a delay difference between the first and second receiver signals representative of a difference between the first time and the second time and determine an angle-of-attack based upon the delay difference.
