    Abstract: A simulated payload apparatus (SPA) for testing in a flight motion system (FMS), which has a body for mounting in the FMS, and which simulates an actual payload during the FMS test. The SPA may include a plurality of adjustable weights that are mountable on and/or removable from the body to vary the mass and/or center of gravity of the SPA. The SPA may include an adjustable bracket for interfacing with a motion drive of the FMS, in which the bracket is positionable along the body to vary the moment of inertia of the SPA. The SPA may include an onboard electronic measurement device that is configured to measure a motion characteristic of the SPA and/or communicate information about the measured motion characteristic in real-time during the FMS test. The SPA may include a laser alignment for aligning the SPA relative to test equipment of the FMS.

    Abstract: Dry ice cooling systems and methods of making dry ice cooling systems are disclosed. According to embodiments, dry ice cooling systems include a compression container including compressed liquid carbon dioxide. The dry ice cooling systems include a dry ice container coupled to the compression container to receive the liquid carbon dioxide and house dry ice as it forms. The dry ice container includes a liquid coolant. Further, the dry ice cooling system includes a heat exchanger to couple a heat-generating source to the dry ice container.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to using a plurality of antennas radially distributed about a rotatable turret to sequentially scan a field of view. Each of the plurality of antennas directs an electromagnetic beam and senses its reflection along a principal direction defined by a roll position of the rotatable turret and an azimuthal beam angle. The principal directions of the antennas have a unique azimuthal beam angle relative to a boresight (i.e., axis of rotation). As the turret rotates, each of these antennas is sequentially turned on at a first roll position and off at a second roll position. This enables electromagnetic beams generated by the antennas to pan a scene both in azimuth and roll. An image processor then determines, based on the reflected signals received by the plurality of antennas, directions to and/or velocities of objects within the scanned field of view.
