Training Sample Pattern Optimization Based on a Swarm Intelligence Algorithm for Tiltrotor Flight Dynamics Model Approximation by Jiayu Wen, Yanguo Song, Huanjin Wang, Dong Han, Changfa Yang

“…In the case of tiltrotor aircraft, the total number of aircraft states and controls is much greater than that of both traditional fixed-wings and helicopters. This requires, in general, a huge amount of training data for the network to reach a satisfactory approximation precision and makes the network size rise considerably. …”

URANUS: Radio Frequency Tracking, Classification and Identification of Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles by Domenico Lofu, Pietro Di Gennaro, Pietro Tedeschi, Tommaso Di Noia, Eugenio Di Sciascio

“…We leverage real-time data provided by the Radio Frequency/Direction Finding system, and radars in order to detect, classify and identify drones (multi-copter and fixed-wings) invading no-drone zones. We adopt a Multilayer Perceptron neural network to identify and classify UAVs in real-time, with 90% accuracy. …”

Evaluating the accuracy of unmanned aerial systems to quantify glacial ice habitats of harbor seals in Alaska by Courtney Pegus, Shannon Atkinson, Terry Quinn, Sanjay Pyare

“…Abstract Long‐term monitoring programs to evaluate climate‐driven changes to tidewater glaciers, an important habitat for harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in Alaska, are primarily carried out by costly, weather‐dependent aerial surveys from fixed‐winged aircraft. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) can be an alternative cost‐effective solution for gathering image data to quantify, monitor, and manage these habitats. …”
