Uncertainty Quantification to Detect Resident Space Object Anomalies
Summary Anomaly detection, whereby signals are scanned for behavior changes, is a common problem in many applications. As data streams grow in complexity and volume, automated methods for anomaly detection, especially those based on machine…
98th Space Range Squadron Takes Warfighter Readiness to Next Level
WASHINGTON (AFNS) — For decades, U.S. Air Force test and training ranges, like the Nevada Test and Training Range and the Utah Test and Training Range, have provided aircrews with flexible, realistic, multidimensional battle spaces…
A Surrogate Model to Quantify Uncertainty in Thermal Protection Systems for Hypersonic Weapons
Modeling and simulation are key for the iterative development of thermal protection systems (TPS’s) for hypersonic weapons. In this work, the temperature-dependent flexural strength (FS) of α-SiC ceramic is predicted given Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and temperature. An artificial neural network (ANN) surrogate model is created to retain property-performance prediction while increasing computation speed.
