|
 | The Air Force Flight Test Center Engineering Logistics Plan Preparation Guide provides established guidelines to assist authors in preparing technically accurate and clearly written transition and turnover documents for acquisition projects. The guide format allows the plan author the flexibility to tailor the engineering logistics plan for various reasons, such as project size and type of system under development. The goal is to turn over a fully functional and documented ... |

|
| This report presents the results of Project HAVE STAV, a limited evaluation of the handling qualities for a Supersonic Tailless Air Vehicle (STAV). This test program used the Calspan-operated Total In-Flight Simulator to test the powered approach handling qualities of a Northrop Grumman STAV model. The test team developed an optimized control system prior to flight testing. The handling qualities were determined using the STAV model coupled with either the ... |

|
| In fiscal year (FY) 2003, the Test Director initiated comprehensive planning for management of the C-17 data elements. Including the bulk instrumentation data collected, this plan also addressed the management of programmatic information and correlation from the test definition program phase through the archiving of test reporting Information. The envisioned end-state of the C-17 test data archive effort, also referred to as the C-17 Enterprise Test Data Management System (ETDMS), ... |

|
| This paper discusses a memory architecture that realizes a group structure of data filters on a lattice of control strings (sets). The lattice filters concatenate & parse control strings for memory I/0 using a method that in various ways mirrors' orthogonal quadrature signal filtering from wavelet theory (thus the name). The lattice indicates algebraic structures, of partial orders & set inclusion, that filters perform on the control string sets'. There ... |

|
| The Test and Evaluation Modeling and Simulation (TEMS) facility at the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Edwards Air Force Base, California, provides developmental test and evaluation flight test programs with virtual, piloted real-time simulators. The TEMS facility has a requirement to support multiple aircraft programs with high fidelity cockpits and out-the-window visual systems within limited facility space and tight budget constraints. The AFFTC's Modeling, Simulation and Integration (MSI) program ... |

|
| One approach to improving spectrum usage efficiency is to manage the scheduling of frequencies more effectively. The use of metrics to analyze frequency scheduling could aid frequency managers in a variety of ways. However, the basic question of what is a good metric for representing and analyzing spectral usage remains unanswered. Some metrics capture spectral occupancy. This paper introduces metrics that change the focus from occupancy to availability. Just because ... |

|
| Night vision systems (NVSs) have revolutionized the combat operations of war fighters by denying the enemy the cover of darkness, and by providing greatly enhanced night flight capabilities. Navigation, safety, loadmaster coordination of air drop, target detection and target acquisition have all been dramatically improved due to the use and advances NVSs. Once limited to weapon aiming and surveillance, modern NVSs provide aircrew's with enhanced situation awareness of the night ... |
