Projects
ASTRA Avionics Testbed
Andras Sobester, James Scanlan (Investigators), Christopher Crispin
This project aims to create a platform for testing programs built to enhance the autopilots decision making. To make this possible a payload bay was built into an existing airframe using additive manufacture. For the purpose of this particular project the Odroid on board will be used to pass waypoints or control decisions to the autopilot so a space-filling trajectory, determined via Genetic Programing, can be flown.
Centre for Doctoral Training in Next Generation Computational Modelling
Hans Fangohr, Ian Hawke, Peter Horak (Investigators), Susanne Ufermann Fangohr, Thorsten Wittemeier, Kieran Selvon, Alvaro Perez-Diaz, David Lusher, Ashley Setter, Emanuele Zappia, Hossam Ragheb, Ryan Pepper, Stephen Gow, Jan Kamenik, Paul Chambers, Robert Entwistle, Rory Brown, Joshua Greenhalgh, James Harrison, Jonathon Waters, Ioannis Begleris, Craig Rafter
The £10million Centre for Doctoral Training was launched in November 2013 and is jointly funded by EPSRC, the University of Southampton, and its partners.
The NGCM brings together world-class simulation modelling research activities from across the University of Southampton and hosts a 4-year doctoral training programme that is the first of its kind in the UK.
Generic Operational Simulation of Civil Unmanned Air Vehicle Operations
Hans Fangohr, James Scanlan (Investigators)
This project creates a generic operational simulation of Unmanned Air Vehicle Operations. UAVs can be valued for their mission-suitability and compared against various configurations.
Operational Simulation of the Solent Search-and-Rescue environment
James Scanlan, Kenji Takeda, Hans Fangohr (Investigators), Ben Schumann
This project aims to identify useful metrics for a proposed Search-and-Rescue UAV and test it virtually in a realistic environment.
Real-time CFD for helicopter flight simulation
Kenji Takeda (Investigator), James Kenny
Project aims to show how real-time computational fluid dynamics (CFD) could be used to improve the realism of helicopter flight simulators.
The use of channel wings for slow speed UAV flight
Andy Keane (Investigator), Juraj Mihalik
In this project, advanced computational modeling and robust design optimization tools are used to observe the possibility of use of the Custer channel wings for slow speed UAV flights.
