A high-resolution 64-channel arrayed-waveguide-grating-assisted silicon- integrated optical phase array is demonstrated for 2-D beam steering. A field of view of
$5^{\circ}\times 25^{\circ}$
with 0.3° vertical resolution is achieved over a wavelength range of 100 nm with a single optical input. Higher vertical resolution can be attained by utilizing all the inputs of the OPA.

Due to their low-cost and ease of use, cameras are very popular for drone detection. Thanks to the feature reach images obtained from the cameras, it is possible to classify drones with a relatively high success ratio. However, cameras lack the means for accurate localization, allowing only a rough measure of the orientation of the target UAV. In order to better localize the UAV, in this study we fuse camera and lidar measurements, localizing UAVs accurately. This fusion was implemented using a Kalman filter, which enables integration of both sensor data, improving detection and tracking accuracy
Particle-based Bayesian inference methods by sampling from a partition-free target (posterior) distribution, e.g., Stein variational gradient descent (SVGD), have attracted significant attention. We propose a path-gui...

Hydrodynamic processes, part of many industrial and urban infrastructure systems, usually lack accurate models, hence introducing ambiguity in a controller design procedure. Operators and control engineers provide significant knowledge about successful control of hydrodynamic systems. Fuzzy controller, suitable to exploit and incorporate available knowledge, is designed for control of a benchmark coupled tank system. Successful fuzzy controller must cope with slow dynamics of the process, dead zone of an actuator, and unipolar control signal, when employed in reference tracking tasks. The designed fuzzy controller implements fuzzy inference system with 15 rules, two inputs and one output, as well as three adjustable gain parameters. The proposed controller is successful in reference tracking tasks and disturbance suppression. Experiments, organised as reference tracking tasks and implemented as computer simulations, support the analysis.

This paper presents a novel approach for detecting drones using a lidar sensor integrated on a robotic turret. The turret rotates allowing the sensor to scan the sky, and both hardware components communicate in real-time. When the lidar sensor detects a drone, the detection data is used to dynamically adjust the motion pattern of the turret, allowing the system to capture more data by orienting the lidar sensor towards the drone, eventually improving tracking accuracy thanks to the higher number of detections achieved in this manner. In this paper we also explore different motion patterns for the turret, comparing them on the field to track a drone using the built lidar-turret system.

Traffic in backbone networks is characterized by strong seasonality, with clear patterns visible in various services and applications based on their usage throughout the day. Data-driven networks can learn these patterns to manage resources more efficiently as they become increasingly saturated. In this paper, we explore the benefits of traffic prediction and grooming across different traffic patterns. To achieve this, we simulate network operations using uniform sets of time-varying connection requests, where all demands in a simulation share the same traffic pattern related to a specific network-based service or application. Our goal is to thoroughly evaluate the robustness of the proposed techniques across diverse scenarios. The results will facilitate the design of future application-aware algorithms for the most efficient handling of each traffic pattern.

GaN FETs can provide higher switching rates which can lead to smaller, lighter, faster and more responsive circuits; however, historically, GaN FETs have been considered too difficult to drive and many GaN parts have shown lower reliability compared to Si FETs. This has resulted in a limited number of GaN devices thoroughly tested for use in space environments. These drawbacks have meant that, when designing for space applications, most engineers have relied on MOSFETs. Two recent innovations have caused GaN FETs to be more attractive to designers: 1) process improvements that have increased reliability and 2) driver and FET integration that has reduced design complexities. With the reliability and design complexity concerns addressed, it has become pertinent to give GaN technology a closer look. To find out if a shift towards GaN technology is feasible for space applications, Single Event Effects Testing can give insight into how these devices will perform in higher radiation environments. To this end, four CoTS parts were taken to the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkely National laboratory in July 2023 and tested for their susceptibility to single event gate rupture, latch-up and burnout. The data from testing is presented and analysis of data is given. Recommendations for further testing of similar integrated devices are provided.

A joint research project 'real-time lightning 3D imaging and forecasting project for sustainable and reliable supply of energy and storm disaster early warning' has been selected for Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS) program. Held in the coastal area of the Straits of Malacca in Malaysia, which suffers from serious lightning disasters with more than 200 lightning days per year, this research aims to contribute to disaster prevention by forecasting lightning strikes by constructing the world's highest lightning observation network. This research project is to conduct the field campaigns associated with artificial rocket-triggered lightning in the coastal area of the Straits of Malacca, where the thunderstorm activity is very high and there are many positive cloud-to-ground flashes that may damage electric, communication and other equipments. Measurements of radio waves in various frequency bands and high-energy radiations, and several Rogowski coils are set up surrounding the strike points. It is planned to realize an electromagnetic field observation network in VHF and LF bands to observe the entire progression of each lightning in detail in a wide area. 3D charge distribution in the thundercloud and the amounts of neutralized charges estimated from the information where the lightning discharge begins, how it progresses, and where it terminates. Then, it is examined by the lightning current waveform measured directly with the high structure and rocket-triggered lightning. By comprehensively grasping the charge behavior in the air related to lightning discharge, it is possible to estimate the charge distribution in the cloud and to predict lightning strike. In addition, promoting the control of electric power equipment using IoT, and the early warning system of severe weather disasters to be implemented in the society. This project further researches on active and adaptive lightning resistance and protection as well as
