Human Autonomy Teaming - m:N Operations

The principles and reasons for employing Human Autonomy Teaming is discussed. Application of these techniques to multi-vehicle control is described. In several operational environments from small drone delivery to air taxi to autonomous cargo, many companies will need technologies that will allow for the operation of an unmanned aircraft (UAS or eVTOL) by a small crew of individuals that are located in a remote network operations center. That is, Multiple operators supervising an increasing Number of vehicles (M:N). This will require a new control/supervisory paradigm where the supervisors team with automation to achieve their joint tasks; Human Autonomy Teaming (HAT). This task will follow the HAT philosophy and tenants (e.g., trust, bi-directional communication, pilot directed interfaces). It will also develop and employ specific HAT tools (e.g., playbook, working agreements, predictive timeline displays, transparent interfaces to build trust).

SaS4D Home Team UI (SaS4D-HT-UI) v1.0

The SaS4D Home Team UI (python) is a software to view and interact with different layers of 3D geometries and generate usable MCNP-style input file. It is used by the remote Home Team in providing guidance and building models of environments they have never seen in order to investigate threat object discovered at the Working Point. The UI visualizes a colorized mesh, a semantic labelled mesh, and a semantic labelled probability mesh of the scanned environment as well as individual water-tight material-labeled objects. It allows for manipulation and re-processing of these objects. The UI also contains measurement tools to facilitate better MCNP input file generation in the manipulation workflow. The software is a key component in ensuring the Home Team has prompt awareness of the Working Point.

Winning Asset Management Improvement Team: Maintenance Planning and Scheduling in a Highly Regulated Environment

The Y-12 National Complex (Y-12) site has numerous aging facilities that are crucial to the Department of Energy and the national security strategy for the nation. Y-12’s commitment to safety and regulatory compliance is of the highest importance. The commitment to meet the national security mission also creates additional rigor and complexity to the everyday maintenance and planning process. Y-12 is a collection of many facilities, both old and new, nestled between two ridges in Oak Ridge, TN. Y-12 was made with the short-term focus of ending “The Great War” through the creation of the worlds’ first atomic bomb. Almost eighty (80) years have passed since the groundbreaking, with the mission of the site changing from decade to decade. While the mission has changed, the way Y-12 employees continuously meet the challenge has not. The site was created to react and overcome; Y-12 still takes pride in the ability to react and overcome. The difference is the site is no longer ignorant to the need for a better way to manage the aging facilities and infrastructure. Shear willpower and determination was once the way to reach the objectives, but as a wise man once said, “Work smarter, not harder.” The business case for change started within the senior leadership at Y-12. A team of managers sat down and dictated objectives to provide a clear scope for the maintenance planning and scheduling optimization team, to include our Eruditio integrated blended learning coaches. In addition to providing the direction, they also made themselves available for escalation of issues in the event the team ran in to road blocks.

TEAM Project Review, Year 2

This report summarizes our research activities within the TEAM project between December 2020 and December 2021, funded by the ASCR Advanced Research in Quantum Computing program. During the reporting period the LLNL-MSU team has made progress on several fronts. An overarching goal of the team is to provide a comprehensive suite of software tools that can be used for the Characterize-Optimize-Compute loop needed to implement and execute algorithms on quantum devices. We are concurrently developing lightweight solvers that can be used on desktop computers to find optimal control pulses and to characterize small quantum systems (consisting of a few transmons and cavities). However, desktop computers are insufficient for simulating and characterizing larger quantum systems. We have therefore also developed parallel, distributed memory, simulators and optimization solvers, both for open and closed quantum systems. These parallel solvers have, for example, been used to study quantum optimal control for pure-state preparation, utilizing 1000’s of cores on a modern high-performance computing (HPC) platform.

Bob Geyer: Coaching wrestling or clearing waste, he puts his team first

When Bob’s team started the project of clearing drums out of the PF-4 basement, there were 1,800 drums inside. Now, there are less than 500. It’s no coincidence that Bob Geyer leads a team that goes by the acronym of MVP — move, validate and prepare — more commonly recognized as “most valuable player.” Bob and the MVP team manage waste drums after they’ve been packaged. Their job is to constantly work a puzzle of drums and locations based on the contents of the drums, where they came from and where they’re headed. All the while, they’re ensuring there’s enough floor space in the Plutonium Facility for the waste materials that come out of daily production operations.

LLE Diagnostic Resource Team for Innovative Fusion Concepts (Final Report)

The LLE Diagnostic Resource Team for Innovative Fusion Concepts provided travelling neutron diagnostics, consultancy on neutron diagnostics, and consultancy on tritium handling to fusion companies. An existing neutron detector was recalibrated for low yields and two detectors were built based on designs proven on the Omega Laser Facility. The three detectors allow measurements over a wide range of yields (from 10 to 1E7 incident neutrons). The detectors were calibrated for DD neutrons on a dedicated OMEGA shot day. Neutron detectors from the company MIFTI were also calibrated on OMEGA. MIFTI is currently using their detectors and two of our detectors on staged Z-pinch experiments at UCSD. The Team acted as consultants for the development of a liquid scintillator array to detect neutrons from muon induced fusion by NK Labs. Segments of NK Labs’ detector were tested at the LLE using radioactive sources and a DD neutron generator. The Team also acted as consultants for the design of a tritium handling system for NK Labs. A new type of neutron spectrometer was designed and built, and has completed preliminary testing.

Fermilab 2025 Summer Internship Skills Learned from Working with Mu2e Tracker Team

As part of a DOE RENEW Grant, the undergraduate authors interned at Fermilab. They spent nine weeks over summer 2025 working on the tracker team for the Mu2e experiment. They gained practical experience in a multitude of new skills including electronics installation, testing, and repairs. Their work particularly increased productivity by helping repair the high voltage and calibration pre-amplifiers, over 20,000 of which are needed in the tracker. These components are very fragile and often break during the installation process. The experience also taught them several soft skills such as the importance of thoughtful data storage, record- keeping, and problem-solving skills. They learned the demands of a large, international collaboration and how to work in a team. The authors would like to acknowledge their advisor and PI of the grant, Dr. Christopher G. Fasano, and the Mu2e team lead by co- spokesperson Dr. Bob Bernstein and tracker L2 manager Dr. Brendan Kiburg.

A Simulation Resource Team for Innovative Fusion Concepts

This project created a shared simulation resource for innovative fusion concepts at the University of Rochester, built around the FLASH, TriForce, OSIRIS, and OSHUN codes. Many promising fusion approaches are too complex to evaluate by experiment alone yet building a custom simulation capability from scratch for each new concept is expensive and slow. The BETHE Simulation Resource Team addressed this problem by developing and validating a flexible set of numerical tools, which were then applied across three major concept areas: plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion, staged Z pinches, and field-reversed configurations. The team assisted three concept teams and carried out independent analyses of all three concepts.

A model for the submarine depthkeeping team

The most difficult task the depthkeeping team must face occurs during periscope-depth operations during which they may be required to maintain a submarine several hundred feet long within a foot of ordered depth and within one-half degree of ordered pitch. The difficulty is compounded by the facts that wave generated forces are extremely high, depth and pitch signals are very noisy and submarine speed is such that overall dynamics are slow. A mathematical simulation of the depthkeeping team based on the optimal control models is described. A solution of the optimal team control problem with an output control restriction (limited display to each controller) is presented.
