Abstract: An online data management (ODM) system can be configured to parse tool data for a particular project provided from a plurality of disparate software tools employed for project management. The ODM system can also be configured to generate a data structure based on the tool data, wherein the data structure comprises a hierarchy of interconnected objects. The ODM system can further be configured to identify relationships between objects of the data structure.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an image collection module that monitors at least one parameter to dynamically regulate an amount of data and resolution to be allocated to at least one object in a scene collected from an image data set. A situational awareness interface (SAI) renders a 3-D video of the scene to an operator based on the amount of data and resolution allocated from the image data set by the image collection module and receives operator commands for an unmanned vehicle (UV) that interacts with the scene.

Abstract: One example includes an autonomous vehicle control system. The system includes an operational plan controller to maintain operational plans that each correspond to a predetermined set of behavioral characteristics of an associated autonomous vehicle based on situational awareness data provided from on-board sensors of the autonomous vehicle and mission control data provided from a user interface. The system also includes a decision-making algorithm to select one of the operational plans for operational behavior of the autonomous vehicle based on the situational awareness data and the mission control data at a given time and to provide an intent decision based on the situational awareness data and the selected one of the operational plans. The system further includes an execution engine to provide control outputs to operational components of the autonomous vehicle for navigation and control based on the selected one of the operational plans and in response to the intent decision.

Abstract: One embodiment includes a simulation system for an autonomous vehicle. The simulation system includes a user interface configured to facilitate user inputs comprising spontaneous simulated events in a simulated virtual environment during simulated operation of the autonomous vehicle via an autonomous vehicle control system. The system also includes a simulation controller configured to generate simulated sensor data based on model data and behavioral data associated with each of the simulated virtual environment and the spontaneous simulated events. The simulated sensor data corresponds to simulated sensor inputs provided to the autonomous vehicle control system via sensors of the autonomous vehicle. The simulation controller is further configured to receive simulation feedback data from the autonomous vehicle control system corresponding to simulated interaction of the autonomous vehicle within the simulated virtual environment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods, apparatus, and articles related to code combination for GPS III, and more particularly, to methods and apparatuses for enabling signal modulation that potentially may minimize power throw away for target code power ratios by shifting linear signal constellation points radially to a circle of equal amplitude, e.g., where the circumference represents e.g. the average RMS power of the original linear signals.
