Abstract This paper presents the AccurasprayHub, a centralized data platform designed to harmonize booth parameters, in-situ plume measurements, maintenance schedules, and coating quality evaluations. By combining domain expertise with advanced analytics, including initial steps toward machine learning, the AccurasprayHub establishes robust datasets, identifies stable process windows, and provides proactive insights for process improvements.

This paper describes the development of a Sense and Avoid (S&A) algorithm that can ensure an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) being able to avoid collisions autonomously. Firstly, the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) can predict the conflict. Secondly, the developed path planner generates the feasible path using differential geometric guidance and flatness techniques, where the constraints of UAV dynamics are considered. The effectiveness of the developed scheme is demonstrated by flight tests carried out at the Marinvent© Flight Simulator.

The paper describes flight trials performed in Reno, NV. Flight trial were conducted with a Cheyenne 1 from Marinvent. Twelve pilots flew the Cheyenne in seventy-two approaches to the Reno airfield. All pilots flew completely andomized settings. Three different settings (standard displays, 2D moving map, and 2D/3D moving map) were evaluated. They included seamless evaluation for STAR, approach, and taxi operations. The flight trial goal was to evaluate the objective performance of pilots compared among the different settings. As dependent variables, positional and time accuracy were measured. Analysis was conducted by an ANOVA test. In parallel, all pilots answered subjective Cooper-Harper, situation awareness rating technique (SART), situational awareness probe (SAP), and questionnaires.This article describes the human factor analysis from flight trials performed in Reno, NV. Flight trials were conducted with a Cheyenne 1 from Marinvent. Thirteen pilots flew the Cheyenne in seventy-two approaches to the Reno airfield. All pilots flew completely randomized settings. Three different display configurations: Elec. Flight Information System (EFIS), EFIS and 2D moving map, and 3D SVS Primary Flight Display (PFD) and 2D moving map were evaluated. They included normal/abnormal procedure evaluation for: Steep turns and reversals, Unusual attitude recovery, Radar vector guidance towards terrain, Non-precision approaches, En-route alternate for non-IFR rated pilots encountering IMC, and Taxiing on complex taxi-routes. The flight trial goal was to evaluate the objective performance of pilots for the different display configurations. As dependent variables, positional and time data were measured. Analysis was performed by an ANOVA test. In parallel, all pilots answered subjective NASA Task Load Index, Cooper-Harper, Situation Awareness Rating Technique (SART), and questionnaires. The result shows that pilots flying 2D/3D SVS perform no worse than pilots with conventional systems. In addition, 3D SVS flying pilots have significantly better terrain awareness, more stable 180° deg turns, and enhanced positional awareness while taxiing on the ground. Finally, even non-IFR rated pilots are able to fly non-precision approaches under IMC with a 3D SVS.
