§ Education§ B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (May 2014) from the University of

Maryland, College Park§ M.S. in Systems Engineering (expected 2018) from Johns Hopkins

University, Engineering for Professionals§ Experience

§ Perspecta (formerly Vencore, formerly The SI Org.) – [Aug 2014 to Oct 2018]§ Systems Engineer

§ Supported systems engineering/integration lifecycle for the acquisition of a critical Command and Control software

§ Predictive Modeling Analyst§ Analyzed detailed system and operational requirements of Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) systems

through the use of the modeling and simulation

§ Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab (APL) – [Oct 2018 to Present]§ Modeling and Simulation Analyst (FPS/KVQ)

§ Support to precision strike analysis. Modeling and analysis of radar systems and Integrated Air Defense Systems

Introduction & Need for System

4

§ The APAV system provides an alternative method of transportation which integrates various sensor packages with high-precision navigation in order to autonomously transport passengers and cargo

§ The need:§ Average U.S. commute times can reach up to 34.7 minutes one-way§ Number of workers with commute times ≥45 min is growing at a faster rate than

those with commute times <45 min§ Longer commutes have been seen to be linked with increased rates of obesity,

high cholesterol, high blood pressure, back and neck pain, divorce, depression and death

§ A study from the United States Department of Transportation attributes 94% of serious crashes to human choices

§ The APAV offers a fully-electric solution which helps address the rising concern of global warming and carbon emissions§ Cars and trucks account for nearly one-fifth of all U.S. emissions, emitting 24 pounds of carbon dioxide

and other global warming gases per gallon of gas

Requirements (1 of 2)Approach

§ Requirements generation approach:§ Identify top-level User/Mission Needs§ Decompose User Needs into:

§ Operational Requirements (mission and scope)§ Functional Requirements (capabilities/tasks)§ Performance Requirements (quantitative ability)§ Interface Requirements (external interfaces)§ Constraint Requirements (limitations, -ilities)

§ Each requirement written to be unambiguous, verifiable, clear, and implementation-free

§ Every requirement traceable back to User Needs

§ Identified verification methods for each requirement (inspection, analysis, demonstration, test)

Trade Study (1 of 6)Introduction and Alternatives

21

§ Trade space existed for the various risk areas of the APAV, requiring the evaluation of alternatives to determine the most feasible and cost-effective solution

§ Formal trade analysis was conducted for the sense and avoid subsystem of the APAV§ Alternatives included:

§ Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Sensor Package§ Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B)§ Airborne Sense-and-Avoid (ABSAA) Radar§ Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II)

Example ABSAA

Basic ADS-B explanation Basic TCAS II explanation

Example EO/IR Sensor

ep.jhu.edu

Trade Study (2 of 6)Selection Criteria

22

§ Selection criteria was based on the system requirements of the APAV system and these criteria represent the major characteristics for sense and avoid capabilities§ Field of View (FOV) - the observable area of a sensor, broken down by:

§ Azimuth Range - the angle measured between the vehicle direction of travel and the projected line-of-sight (LOS) to the target

§ Minimum Elevation - the angle between the ground and the LOS to the object

§ Detection Range - the furthest distance an object could be detected§ Detection Accuracy - measurement of the error in the detection range§ Weight – weight of the system§ Power – power consumed by the system

Trade Study (5 of 6)Utility Curves

25

§ Utility functions used to translate an alternative’s raw score against a criterion to a utility score

§ Curves developed according to independent research and assumed to be linear

ep.jhu.edu

Trade Study (6 of 6)Results

26

§ Based on analysis, ADS-B provided the highest operational utility and cost-effectiveness

§ Sensitivity analysis§ Set weights for each criterion to zero and reevaluated performance

§ ADS-B continued to provide the highest operational utility and cost-effectiveness

§ Further analysis§ ADS-B is heavily reliant on the factor that it only communicates with other ADS-B equipped aircraft of stations§ This limits the ability of sense and avoidance for non-aircraft entities

§ Additional analysis needed to assess potential combinations of sense and avoid systems (e.g. ADS-B with EO/IR)

Test Plan (1 of 2)

30

§ Scope: Describe the test and evaluation efforts needed to verify the sense and avoid capabilities of the APAV, implemented by the Sense and Avoid Subsystem and Aircraft Control Unit (ACU) of the Central Control Subsystem

§ Testing planned as three major phases:§ Phase 1 – virtual modeling and simulation§ Phase 2 – controlled environmental testing§ Phase 3 – flight testing

§ Test Objectives: Requirements verification, risk reduction (R-002 – In-Flight Collision), and technological readiness demonstration§ Success criteria and desired metrics each trace to system requirements§ All relevant requirements include a desired test result§ Example metrics include: max detection range, min detection accuracy, min avoidance

distance, max temperature, max visibility

Summary of Final Concept and Further Work

34

§ User Needs and independent research served as the basis for the system development

§ Additional review from subject matter experts (SMEs) are needed§ Recommend the following next steps:

§ Perform additional formal trade analysis of:§ Propulsion Subsystem motors§ Power Management Subsystem batteries§ Vehicle Structure Subsystem safety features

§ Develop high-level cost estimations for projected development and manufacturing costs

§ Conduct system reviews for each major phase (based on DoD readiness events)§ System Requirements Review (SRR)§ System Functional Review (SFR)§ Preliminary Design Review (PDR)

ep.jhu.edu

Lessons Learned

35

§ Be consistent with tracking and assessing schedule§ Include extra time buffers in your schedule§ Learn a Systems Engineering tool (e.g. CORE)

§ A lot of time was spent on manually tracing between requirements, functions, and physical components

§ Much time was also spent looking for places where updates/modifications needed to be carried over

§ Systems Engineering is a team effort§ Practice proper configuration management (version control)

§ The iterative nature of SE results in many changes which should be documented for reference

ep.jhu.edu

Recommendations

36

§ If possible, consider offering an elective which teaches the use of System Engineering tools (e.g. CORE, DOORS)§ This may give students more incentive to use these tools for this course§ These tools may help students maintain consistency and traceability, as

well as improve the overall quality of work§ Send reminders to keep students motivated and thinking about this

course prior to enrolling§ Access to blackboard site is given while taking the 5th core course

(typically the mid-point of the program for most), but then the capstone course was never mentioned again

§ Getting the proposal done prior to the beginning of the course gives students more time to work on the other deliverables
