The International Conference on Intelligent Unmanned Systems 2011 was organized by the International Society of Intelligent Unmanned Systems and locally by the Center for Bio-Micro Robotics Research at Chiba University, Japan. The event was the 7th conference continuing from previous conferences held in Seoul, Korea (2005, 2006), Bali, Indonesia (2007), Nanjing, China (2008), Jeju, Korea (2009), and Bali, Indonesia (2010). ICIUS 2011 focused on both theory and application, primarily covering the topics of robotics, autonomous vehicles, intelligent unmanned technologies, and biomimetics. We invited seven keynote speakers who dealt with related state-of-the-art technologies including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and micro air vehicles (MAVs), flapping wings (FWs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), underwater vehicles (UVs), bio-inspired robotics, advanced control, and intelligent systems, among others. This book is a collection of excellent papers that were updated after presentation at ICIUS2011. All papers that form the chapters of this book were reviewed and revised from the perspective of advanced relevant technologies in the field. The aim of this book is to stimulate interactions among researchers active in the areas pertinent to intelligent unmanned systems.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the derivation of computational models from basic physical & mathematical principles, giving the reader sufficient information to be able to represent the basic architecture of air vehicles and their embedded systems. Highly relevant to practitioners, it takes into account the multi-disciplinary nature of aerospace products and the integrated nature of the models needed to represent them. Following on from Volume 1- Platform Kinematics and Synthetic Environment -- which focuses on the modelling of the environment in which aircraft operate -- this book focuses on the modelling of the aerospace vehicles (aircraft and rotorcraft) themselves. Computational Modelling and Simulation of Aircraft and the Environment represents a development of the existing Aerospace series titles from Moir and Seabridge, as the author draws on some of the same examples used in previous works and dissects them mathematically -- thus giving a degree of commonality with earlier books in the series. More high level, detailed mathematics will be allocated to the appendices in order to render the main body of the material digestible as an introductory level text. Includes chapters on dynamics and control, flight dynamics & physics, generic aircraft and rotorcraft, vehicle and mission systems, and integration, operability & interoperability Serves as both a student text and practitioner reference Follows on from previous Aerospace series titles, taking some of the same examples used in these texts and dissecting them mathematically Accompanied by a website at www.wiley.com/go/diston which houses software, animations and useful weblinks.

The Aircraft Designers: A Grumman Historical Perspective tells the behind-the-scenes story of the designers and engineers who conceived and built Grumman aircraft from the founding of the company in 1929 until its 1994 acquisition by Northrop. While Grumman aircraft have been previously documented, The Aircraft Designers focuses instead on the people, disciplines, processes, and anecdotes behind the creation of such past icons as the F6F Wildcat and TBF Avenger and modern-day weapon systems like the F-14 Tomcat, E-2 Hawkeye, EA-6B Prowler, and Joint STARS. Michael Ciminera has identified key team members who contributed to the creation and development of each new design, creating an unparalleled historical record of the aeronautical achievements of the Grumman Corporation. He has also chronicled the evolution from the aircraft design of the past, which bore the earmark of the chief engineer/designer, to today's complex aircraft systems, which require a significant team effort involving such disciplines as aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, avionics, systems analysis, software, simulation, testing, and much more. The Aircraft Designers provides a unique insight into the leadership traits, technical skills, and lasting contributions of Grumman's designers. It will stand as the definitive historical account of the people who made Grumman aircraft a reality.

Civil Avionics Systems, Second Edition is an updated and in-depth practical guide to integrated avionic systems as applied to civil aircraft. This new edition has been expanded to include the latest developments in modern avionics. It describes avionic systems and potential developments in the field to help educate students and practitioners in the process of designing, building, and operating modern aircraft in the contemporary aviation system. Integration is a predominant theme of the book, since even as aircraft systems are becoming more integrated and complex, so are the economic, political, and technical environments in which they operate. Key features: content that is based on many years of practical industrial experience by the authors on a range of civil and military projects; focus on the integration and interconnectedness of systems in modern complex aircraft; updated contents in light of latest applications; and, substantial new material on avionics technology, software, and system safety. The authors are all recognized experts, and between them have over 140 years of experience in the aircraft industry. Their direct and accessible style ensures that Civil Avionics Systems, Second Edition is a must-have guide to integrated avionic systems in modern aircraft for aerospace students and practitioners.
