Sept. 2001 – July 2004: Principal Investigator, Enhanced Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (E-AGCAS), Boeing Defense and Space, Seattle WA. Flight Controls Research
Conceptualized, Proposed, and Won a $6 million dollar CRAD program to demonstrate an Enhanced Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System – E-AGCAS - (pilot can override) on the NASA 757 test vehicle. Developed the SOW, wrote the proposal, and developed cost estimates. Developed simulation in PSIM and Matlab Simulink, interfacing with 757 flight management system and autopilot. Wrote feasibility report and presented results to NASA Langley. Assembled and lead team to execute program. Coordinated activities with subcontractors.
Mar. 1997 – Aug. 2001: Boeing Defense and Space, Seattle, WA. X-32 JSF (Joint Strike Fighter)
Lead lab operation of the Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) testing of the STOVL variant of the X32. During the period from July, 2000 to July, 2001 worked with a test team to identify over a hundred aircraft issues dealing with control systems, flying qualities, computer architecture, redundancy management, and fault accommodation logic.
Responsible for coordinating the NASA Ames Vertical Motion Simulator series of motion- based simulations for flying qualities evaluations of the Boeing JSF. This includes writing the test plan; coordinating math model, HUD, and crew station issues; validating the simulation; coordinating the test and participants; and writing the final test report.
Responsible for planning the VERIDAN-CALSPAN in-flight simulation evaluation for flying qualities evaluations of the Boeing JSF using the VISTA F-16D. Wrote test plan, coordinated math model, HUD, crew station development, and conducted verification checks.
Simulation model development: integrated the Ada IFPC Air Data code directly into RPAS, participated in the air data checkout.
Worked on efforts to validate the IFPC control law implementation in the VIL (Vehicle Integration Lab).
Coordinated the Edwards AFB and PAX simulator build up, along with validating the F2 simulator in the ITDL.
Conducted the GEC Stick acceptance test simulation to evaluate flightworthiness.
Participated in RPASII integration in the St. Louis “MACS6” simulator, and at NASA’s VMS motion simulator.
Lead the effort to develop a “Boeing JSF” simulation in the MACS 6 facility in St. Louis. Produced cost and schedule estimates, coordinated with St. Louis management to obtain funds, integrated RPAS I simulation and conducted validation. Oct. 1984 – Mar. 1997: Boeing (formerly McDonnell Douglas), St. Louis, MO Mar.’94 – Mar.’97: Principal Technical Specialist – Simulation: Assigned as lead to develop the JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) MFHS (Manned Flight Hardware Simulator). Worked with program managers to estimate schedules, budgets, facilities and staffing requirements. Manned and supported the ASTOVL (JSF precursor) handling qualities simulation, including novel approaches to out-the-window displays.
Apr.’90 – Mar.’94: Technical Specialist – Simulation: Responsible for department wide implementations of control system simulation techniques, integration methods, and aircraft modeling methods. Wrote “Flight Simulation Best Practices” document in 1993 Jan.’90 – Apr.’90: Technical Specialist – C-17 Consultant: Acted as consultant to Douglas Aircraft Company, Long Beach, CA. to enhance the C-17 Flight Control Simulation. Received letter of commendation.
Dec.’86 – Jan.’90: Lead Engineer – Simulation: Supervised five others in all aspects of the handling qualities and control systems simulation and testing for the ATF and NATF fighter programs. Evaluations of the control system included man-in-the-loop, actuator and hydraulic requirements, structural modes, and ground handling. Used Ada, FORTRAN, and Pascal on several computers including VAX, Gould, and microcomputers. Nov.’84 – Nov.’85: Senior Engineer – Simulation: Participated in the LHX helicopter simulation, creation and evaluation of aerodynamic and control system models. July 1981 – Oct. 1984: Lockheed California Company (Skunk Works Division), Burbank, CA. Worked in the Flight Sciences group on the design, analysis and flight testing of the F-117 low observable inlet, and the ATF (Advanced Tactical Fighter) inlet design. Participated in wind tunnel tests, computational fluid dynamics analysis, and flight tests. PATENTS:
Awarded Patent No. 6,675,076 “System, Autopilot Supplement Assembly and Method for Increasing Autopilot Control Authority”, on January 6th, 2004. This patent provides for a method of increasing the autopilot authority to accommodate an automatic ground collision avoidance system.
Awarded Patent No. 6,062,715 “Computer Implemented Aircraft Simulation Method and Apparatus", in May 2000. This was for an algorithm that reduces simulation transport delay by creating a second order model that resides in the visual system preprocessor. The coefficients of the second order transfer function are configured dynamically by observing the real time aircraft dynamics. This method has since been used successfully on the F18 simulation in St. Louis for over 5 years
