- Description
- The Atmospheric Environment Safety Technologies (AEST) Project investigates sources of atmospheric flight hazards and provides technologies to avoid or mitigate such hazards. AEST supports wake vortex research through the Atmospheric Hazard Sensing & Mitigation (AHSM) Program. Detecting and understanding wake vortex behavior is crucial for safer runway operations and avoidance of in-flight turbulent events. The work described in this document will further the current knowledge of wake turbulence detection and behavior. The key objective of this research is to investigate wake vortices and to try to find methods for vortex detection from arbitrary viewing angles from a moving platform, such as an aircraft. Previous wake detection work has focused on tangential winds as the avenue for detection, and this research will expand the investigation to include axial flow or other phenomena. The scope of this effort is the investigation of wake vortex detection by application and development of software sensor models and atmospheric datasets with simulated vortices embedded. The expected deliverables from this effort are reports, datasets and software. Reports will document the investigations, data, and results. A sensor software model will be utilized and developed during this investigation. The sensor model software is deliverable, as well as datasets used with the software, such as modified Terminal Area Simulation System (TASS) datasets or other input data.The sensor model will be modified at stages in the investigation.
