EAGES Proceedings - S. AUBIN & J. MONCHAUX
1) The document discusses easy experimental methods for studying ground effects, including using a moving belt wind tunnel system to simulate the movement of the ground.
2) It presents a case study on the Mercedes CLK-GTR race car where a 1:10 scale model was tested in wind tunnel to understand flow under the car and ground clearances.
3) Key findings included that downforce increases with lower ground clearance up to a point where the boundary layer blocks the underbody flow, and that side skirts and rear wings help increase downforce by preventing crossflows and increasing underbody velocity.
6. cruise i
This document discusses aircraft cruise performance, including specific range, maximum range cruise, and long range cruise. Specific range is defined as the distance covered per unit of fuel consumed. Maximum range cruise is the speed at a given altitude that provides the maximum range, while long range cruise sacrifices only 1% range for a higher speed that reduces flight time. Factors like weight, altitude, temperature, wind, and center of gravity affect specific range and cruise speeds. The optimum cruise configuration balances achieving maximum range with practical considerations of flight stability and contingency operations.
Chapter 3 linear wave theory and wave propagation
Small amplitude wave theory provides a mathematical description of periodic progressive waves using linear assumptions. It assumes wave amplitude is small compared to wavelength and depth. The key equations derived are the wave dispersion relationship and expressions for water particle velocity, acceleration, and pressure as functions of depth and phase. Wave energy is calculated as the sum of kinetic and potential energy. Wave power is the rate at which wave energy is transmitted shoreward and varies with depth from 0.5 in deep water to 1.0 in shallow water. Wave characteristics like height, length, and celerity change as waves propagate into shallower depths based on conservation of energy.
4. initial climb
This document discusses the requirements and procedures for the initial climb phase of flight after takeoff. It is divided into four segments with different configurations, climb gradients, and speed requirements. Obstacle clearance must be ensured according to regulations specifying climb gradients and departure sector widths. The level-off height, flap settings, and use of flexible takeoff procedures can be adjusted to optimize climb performance based on factors like aircraft weight, temperature, and obstacle locations. Noise abatement procedures also specify speed and thrust profiles to reduce noise during initial climb.
Laminarflow
The document discusses laminar flow and its advantages for reducing drag on airfoils and aircraft. It provides details on natural laminar flow airfoils and the NACA 6-series airfoils which can achieve 30-50% laminar flow. The document also describes laminar flow control techniques like suction and discusses challenges like surface contamination and manufacturing tolerances. It summarizes a case study of the SHM-1 airfoil developed for the Honda Jet using inverse design methods to maximize laminar flow.
AT-6C Texan II Observation/Attack Aircraft
This document proposes procuring armed Hawker Beechcraft T-6 aircraft, called AT-6Cs, to provide a new capability for US counterinsurgency operations. It suggests establishing a training unit in the continental US and deploying about 20 aircraft to Iraq/Afghanistan and 10 to the Philippines/Horn of Africa. The document reviews the historical use of aircraft in counterinsurgency, why a new aircraft may be needed, potential alternatives, and scenarios showing how the AT-6C could be used. It proposes having the Air National Guard operate the aircraft to provide a rapidly executable option for increasing US and coalition counterinsurgency capabilities.
21st Century Battleships: THE FUTURE
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.
New SKEDCO Products
The document proposes a cover for NVG mounts on helmets to prevent snagging during parachute jumps and identifies issues with current taping methods, including covering ranks. Diagrams show how to attach a nylon cover with velcro flaps to the helmet to protect the NVG mount while still displaying ranks and IR identification markings. Instructions also provide a method for attaching a lifeline for emergency rappelling using a snaplink carabiner.
Light Infantry Resupply Transformation v3.0
The document proposes solutions to challenges facing light infantry resupply. It suggests using a Lift-N-Go forklift/trailer (LNG) that can transport palletized supplies on Humvees or M-GATOR trucks. This allows supplies to be delivered via helicopter on pallets and then transported to companies without manual breaking down of supplies. It estimates the total cost of providing LNGs and related equipment to light infantry, air assault and airborne units to be $2.52 billion. The solutions aim to increase mobility and firepower while reducing exposure time for troops.
Sheeple-Minded Strykerites
A Stryker truck got stuck but was then unstuck by a track vehicle. The Stryker cheerleaders were ready to deny that the truck got stuck at all and would lie about the incident happening. The document asks if there are any questions about the situation with the stuck and then unstuck Stryker truck.
Zhukovsky Air Show: Smart Russians
The document summarizes an air show that will take place in 2007 at Zhukovsky Airport in Russia. Zhukovsky Airport is located on the shore of Galendzhik Lake, about a 3 hour drive from Moscow, and was formerly a secret test airport. Its location on a large body of water makes it well suited to display flying boats, which are a focus of Russian aircraft design. The air show will not only feature demonstrations of advanced Russian aircraft, but will allow viewers to watch flights more closely than would be permitted under Western safety regulations. A list of over 50 aircraft types from Russian manufacturers that will be displayed at the show is included.
Why U.S. Soldiers are Killed in Iraq v1.0
More U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq. The document discusses deficiencies in the armor protection provided by vehicles like the Stryker and up-armored Humvees. It argues that these wheeled vehicles cannot adequately protect soldiers from roadside bombs and RPGs. The document proposes using upgraded M113 Gavin tracked armored vehicles instead, which it says could better protect soldiers at a lower cost. It questions why the Army is not implementing these solutions to save soldiers' lives.
Wheeled Mine Strike: Afghanistan (U.S. Copied This)
Scouts are responsible for clearing routes of obstacles before hikers use them. When Scouts fail to properly clear routes, hikers can encounter dangers like fallen trees blocking the path or steep drop-offs on the side of trails. As a result, hikers may get injured if routes are not cleared by Scouts as expected.
USAF DragonEye 1
The USAF proposes creating a "Dragon's Eye Squadron" consisting of armored, mobile ground surveillance aircraft that can operate deep in enemy territory to rapidly identify time-critical targets, speeding up the process of sensing threats and launching precision strikes against them in coordination with ground forces. The costs to establish this capability would be small as the necessary equipment is already in use.
Uninspired Sealift vs Cargo 747s vs LCAC Sealift
This document discusses options for rapidly deploying military vehicles and troops overseas despite obstacles. It proposes modifying cargo planes to transport vehicles long-distances in 1 day. It also describes using catamaran ferries and landing craft carriers that launch hovercraft to transport vehicles over shallow waters and deliver them across beaches, bypassing the need for port infrastructure. However, these options require refueling frequently or have limited range. The document argues the best approach is using ships that can launch landing craft and interface them with barges to fly vehicles directly to shore over obstacles like sea mines.
Tsvposter with M113A4 AmphiGavins or Super Gavins
The document discusses a joint venture between HSV-X1 catamarans and M113A4 Amphigavin amphibious vehicles. It provides details of a notional infantry company cargo report outlining various equipment that could be transported by the vessels, including fire control systems, antennae, trucks, trailers, and 40 M113A4 infantry carriers weighing 1.12 million pounds total. It also lists additional cargo of over 500,000 pounds that would not be loaded onto the joint venture vessels.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE Vision

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

AI & Electronic WarfareIntroduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
