(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Civil airliner passengers and crew are exposed to elevated levels of radiation relative to being at sea level. Previous studies have assessed the radiation dose received in particular cases or for cohort studies. Here we ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The high energy particles of the Van Allen belts coming from cosmic rays, solar storms, high altitude nuclear explosions (HANEs) and other processes represent a significant danger to humans and spacecraft operating in those ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)This work focuses on the application of a streamlined version of Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration (MATE) as a first-order analysis tool to aid in the selection of CubeSat communication systems. As CubeSats have become ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Real-time embedded systems are increasingly becoming the foundation of control systems in both the aerospace and automotive worlds. This class of systems has to meet three requirements: strict timing constraints on operational ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)As modern communication networks become increasingly advanced, so does the ability and necessity to communicate to make more informed decisions. However, communication alone is not sucient; the method by which information ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Unmanned aerial systems are increasingly assisting and replacing humans on so-called dull, dirty, and dangerous missions. In the future such systems will require higher levels of autonomy to effectively use their agile ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have the potential to perform many of the complex and possibly dangerous missions currently flown by manned aircraft. Within visual range air combat is an extremely difficult and dynamic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)With the advance in the fields of computer science, control and optimization, it is now possible to build aerial vehicles which do not need pilots. An important capability for such autonomous vehicles is to be able to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)To plan safe trajectories in urban environments, autonomous vehicles must be able to interact safely and intelligently with other dynamic agents. Due to the inherent structure of these environments, drivers and pedestrians ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Contemporary collision avoidance systems such as the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) have proven their effectiveness in the Commercial Aviation (CA) industry within the last decade. Yet, TCAS and many ...
