ABSTRACTObjectiveThis study investigates whether and how perceived training value varies among fighter pilots participating in a large force exercise (LFE), and whether they expect Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) training to enhance training value of future *** technology is maturing but its expected training value is under-investigated, especially regarding future LVC in *** pilots at a Live-flying LFE answered questionnaires, 120 responses were analyzed statistically. The questions focused on whether the sortie they just flew provided training value, generally and for specific Desired Learning Objectives (DLOs), on whether the inclusion of Virtual and Constructive entities in future LFEs would contribute to training value generally and to the DLOs specifically, and on specific LVC implementation *** of experienced training value varied across DLOs, and DLO ratings varied across Mission types. Fighter pilots were positive toward including Virtual and Constructive entities in LFEs for certain DLOs, mostly for flying a complex mission. DLOs covaried around the factors of LVC-tradeoff advantages and Live advantages, as well as temporal dimensions of planning before a mission and stages of engagement. LVC implementation lessons were *** pilots are generally moderately positive about LVC in LFEs. The measurement of perceived training value per DLO seems a relevant instrument for investigating perceived training value of an LFE and expected training value of future LVC training.

Automotive spark-ignition engines are great platforms for studying a variety of sensors, actuators, and control algorithms, but the size, expense, and maintenance required for an automotive engine coupled with a dynamometer test cell are impractical for many engineering and engineering technology programs. This paper proposes a portable engine-dynamometer test cell using a one-cylinder all-terrain vehicle (ATV) engine driving a set of high-current alternators. Engine loading is to be accomplished with a set of electric resistance heaters and a power switching array. Although associated with a large university, this project is being undertaken by a satellite campus with limited space and financial resources. The plan is to implement the Engine-Dyno Project in phases over a period of years using primarily undergraduate students working on directed projects. The planned phases at this time are as follows: 1. Build a sturdy but portable cart to hold the engine, load cell, accessories, and controls. (This phase is complete.) 2. Install the engine and get it running with no load (complete). 3. Construct a thermoelectric loading system and test the engine using manual switching of the electrical load. 4. Implement and test an electronic control system to dynamically adjust loading. 5. Implement and test a dynamometer control and data acquisition system to perform automated test runs while recording data. 6. Convert the engine to electronic ignition and fuel injection and run baseline tests. 7. Design and implement an engine control system with user-programmable ignition and fuel system parameters, and appropriate test points for monitoring sensor data and controlling actuators. 8. Develop labs for the following courses: Introduction to Automotive Electronics, ECET 38501 (lecture) and ECET 38502 (lab), Heat and Power, MET 22000, and Applied Thermodynamics, MET 32000. The paper begins with background information about how the Engine-Dyno project came about along with a high-

Ensuring safety in trajectory planning of multirotor systems is an essential element for risk-free operation. Even if the generated trajectory is known to be safe in the planning phase, unknown disturbance during an actual operation can lead to a dangerous situation. This paper proposes safety-guaranteed receding horizon planning against unknown, but bounded, disturbances. We first characterize forward reachable set (FRS) of the system, the set of states after a certain duration considering all possible disturbances, using Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability analysis. To compute the FRSs in real-time, we conservatively approximate the true FRS and perform ellipsoidal parameterization on the FRSs. Using the FRSs, we can plan a robust trajectory that avoids risky regions and rapidly re-plan the trajectory when the system encounters sudden disturbance. The proposed method is validated through an experiment of avoiding obstacles in a wind.
