Abstract: A method for displaying images on a head-mounted display (HMD) device that compensates for a user's vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) response. The displayed HMD image is compensated for predicted eye position such that the displayed image stays centered on the fovea of the eye, during transient eye movement caused by head motion, resulting in better display readability, discernment and cognitive processing.

Abstract: A system and method of generating a landing trajectory for use in landing an aircraft onto a deck of a waterborne ship includes sensing motion of the ship, and sensing wind speed and wind direction. The sensed motion of the ship is processed to generate estimates of ship attitude and vertical speed, and the sensed wind speed and wind direction are processed to generate estimates of air-wake disturbances ahead of the aircraft. The landing trajectory is generated based on the estimates of ship attitude and vertical speed and the estimates of air-wake disturbances. The system and method implement model predictive control to calculate the control maneuvers multiple steps ahead, which provides the capability to smoothly control the timing of the aircraft touchdown phase.

Abstract: A method for operating a mechanical flight control system is provided. The method provides a torque command to a servo torque control loop, wherein the servo torque control loop comprises at least one position control servo; receives at least one feedback signal from the position control servo, during operation of the position control servo; detects user external load disturbance input to the servo torque control loop, based on the at least one feedback signal; and adjusts operation of the position control servo, based on the detected user external load disturbance input.
