Controls and Dynamics

Control and dynamic theory, analysis, and design are widely used for navigation; guidance; the tracking of manned/unmanned, autonomous/semi-autonomous systems; target tracking; state estimation and filtering; off-line trajectory analysis; and online trajectory generation applications. KBSI has been at the forefront of control and dynamical system research, developing novel concepts for the aerospace industry and other commercial and government agencies. The explosion of unmanned and autonomous systems use in many fields has generated tremendous opportunities for developing various advanced applications for these systems such as cooperative rescue and search, reconnaissance, surveillance and inspection, and air support and attack. In general, these systems require autonomous/semi-autonomous mission planning, trajectory planning and tracking.

KBSI has developed algorithms for online learning, path planning, and feasible trajectory generation; these algorithms are necessary for enabling decision making and reactive response to emerging situations in the application environment. KBSI has also been active in developing autonomous/cooperative control for single and multi-vehicle systems.

Some key areas of KBSI expertise in control and dynamics listed below.

	Cooperative Control
