Publisher's Synopsis
The objective of this project, as stated in the original proposal, was to develop an immunized aircraft maneuver selection (IAMS) system. The IAMS system was to be composed of computational and informational building blocks that resemble structures in natural immune systems. The ultimate goal of the project was to develop a software package that could be flight tested on aircraft models. This report describes the work performed in the first year of what was to have been a two year project. This report also describes efforts that would have been made in the final year to have completed the project, had it been continued for the final year. After introductory material is provided in Section 2, the end-of-year-one status of the effort is discussed in Section 3. The remainder of the report provides an accounting of first year efforts. Section 4 provides background information on natural immune systems while Section 5 describes a generic ar&itecture developed for use in the IAMS. Section 6 describes the application of the architecture to a system identification problem. Finally, Section 7 describes steps necessary for completing the project.Karr, Charles L.Ames Research CenterAIRCRAFT MODELS; APPLICATIONS PROGRAMS (COMPUTERS); AIRCRAFT MANEUVERS; SYSTEMS ENGINEERING; ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE; IMMUNE SYSTEMS; SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION; ALGORITHMS; FLIGHT TESTS; CONTROL SYSTEMS DESIGN; BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY; CELLS (BIOLOGY); SYSTEMS INTEGRATION...
