Real-time simulation of an airborne radar for overwater approaches

Software developed to provide a real time simulation of an airborne radar for overwater approaches to oil rig platforms is documented. The simulation is used to study advanced concepts for enhancement of airborne radar approaches (ARA) in order to reduce crew workload, improve approach tracking precision, and reduce weather minimums. ARA's are currently used for offshore helicopter operations to and from oil rigs.

Remotely piloted aircraft in the civil environment

Existing remotely piloted vehicle application programs are described along with the technology of several important subsystems and the potential vehicle uses and operational concepts. Regulatory constraints and present and future study activities that may lead to demonstration and then operational programs are discussed.
