A Concept of Operations for an Integrated Vehicle Health Assurance System

This document describes a Concept of Operations (ConOps) for an Integrated Vehicle Health Assurance System (IVHAS). This ConOps is associated with the Maintain Vehicle Safety (MVS) between Major Inspections Technical Challenge in the Vehicle Systems Safety Technologies (VSST) Project within NASA s Aviation Safety Program. In particular, this document seeks to describe an integrated system concept for vehicle health assurance that integrates ground-based inspection and repair information with in-flight measurement data for airframe, propulsion, and avionics subsystems. The MVS Technical Challenge intends to maintain vehicle safety between major inspections by developing and demonstrating new integrated health management and failure prevention technologies to assure the integrity of vehicle systems between major inspection intervals and maintain vehicle state awareness during flight. The approach provided by this ConOps is intended to help optimize technology selection and development, as well as allow the initial integration and demonstration of these subsystem technologies over the 5 year span of the VSST program, and serve as a guideline for developing IVHAS technologies under the Aviation Safety Program within the next 5 to 15 years. A long-term vision of IVHAS is provided to describe a basic roadmap for more intelligent and autonomous vehicle systems

politics, policy, and innovation in the Korean aircraft manufacturing sector

Thesis(Doctoral) --KDI School:Ph.D in Public Policy,2018The study intends to review the prospects of bolstering sectoral capacities in East Asian developmental states over the course of building institutional infrastructure in highly complex technological products with a focus on aircraft manufacturing. In the case of the late industrialization process of East Asian catch-up economies, theory revealed the astonishing economic performances that arouse from established institutional arrangements, which were engendered unique towards the country’s idiosyncratic political attributions. Leaving behind the glorious economic achievements of late industrialization, however, East Asian developmental states have been struggling in its attempts of enhancing sectoral competitive capacities into intensely science based areas of highly advanced technological fields. Industrial upgrading has been the talk of the town the past few decades in Korea, as the fast following sectors in technology catch-up started to foresee the stalling growth patterns emerging across its economic sphere. In order to grasp the growing economic potentials of high tech advanced products such as in aircraft-manufacturing, the national innovation systems of Korea attempted to accommodate emerging developmental challenges through established institutional arrangements in R&D, production, and industrial competition structures, which once proven its effectiveness during the earlier days of rapid industrialization. Over the process of industrially upgrading into these knowledge-based capital intensive sectors, the domestic institutional arrangements, in association with external international conditions, which facilitated achievements in fast economic catch-up, have turned cumbersome in terms of transitioning the country’s innovation system adaptive enough to accommodate the more complex technological challenges. Vertical stovepipes streamlined towards state driven economic development policies have somewhat become obsolete as the institutional construct, shaped attune to the processes of late industrialization, has exhibited incompetence over regulating spontaneously grown sectoral firm based capacities and competitiveness in advanced technological manufacturing fields. Thus, the inherent developmental complexities unfolding in a highly technological Schumpeterian Mark II sector increasingly present convoluted challenges against established institutions of the national innovation systems. The situation materialized ostensibly evident in the Chaebol dominated industrial composition of the Korean aircraft-manufacturing sector where government competition policies did not perform well enough to fulfill the developmental aspirations of aircraft manufacturing. The proposed framework of analysis for this study attempts to accommodate relevant contemporary theories made known from a bundle of innovation studies, which include the theories of national innovation systems, varieties of capitalism, developmental state, and complex product systems. The theory illuminates the sectoral innovation systems demonstrated from the technological regimes of the Schumpeterian Mark II sectors, of which translates into the situation of the Korean aircraft-manufacturing sector. In this regard, the proposed analytical framework developed from these point of views highlights the role of coordinative mechanisms that interconnects national-regional-sectoral levels of innovation over a chosen high technology sector. The absorptive capacities of key actors and diffusion mechanisms of established institutions constitute the major analytical point of this coordinative mechanism. The main argument of the study asserts the need to effectively build cross sectoral coordinative mechanisms throughout the national, regional, and sectoral level of analysis, while exerting concerted efforts to overcome the multiple layers of hurdles against late entrants into technologically complex business areas. Consequently, regarding an attainable solution for Korea successful accession into highly technological sectors, the paper necessitates the transitional efforts of transforming a rigid state-led innovation system into a spontaneously integrated coordinative institutional structure, which accommodates a broad spectrum of absorptive capacities and diffusion mechanisms tailored for developing complex product systems.Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Theory and Analytical Framework Chapter 3: The Global Aerospace and Defense Industry Chapter 4: State Capitalism and the National Innovation Systems of Korea Chapter 5: The Aircraft Manufacturing Sector: Background and National Level Innovation Systems Chapter 6: The Aircraft Manufacturing Sector: Regional and Sectoral Level Innovation Systems Chapter 7: Case Studies: The T-50 Supersonic Advanced Trainer Program Chapter 8: Case Studies –The Korea Helicopter Program, KUH-Surion Chapter 9.

The Public Service Media and Public Service Internet Manifesto

This book presents the collectively authored Public Service Media and Public Service Internet Manifesto and accompanying materials.The Internet and the media landscape are broken. The dominant commercial Internet platforms endanger democracy. They have created a communications landscape overwhelmed by surveillance, advertising, fake news, hate speech, conspiracy theories, and algorithmic politics. Commercial Internet platforms have harmed citizens, users, everyday life, and society. Democracy and digital democracy require Public Service Media. A democracy-enhancing Internet requires Public Service Media becoming Public Service Internet platforms – an Internet of the public, by the public, and for the public; an Internet that advances instead of threatens democracy and the public sphere. The Public Service Internet is based on Internet platforms operated by a variety of Public Service Media, taking the public service remit into the digital age. The Public Service Internet provides opportunities for public debate, participation, and the advancement of social cohesion. Accompanying the Manifesto are materials that informed its creation: Christian Fuchs’ report of the results of the Public Service Media/Internet Survey, the written version of Graham Murdock’s online talk on public service media today, and a summary of an ecomitee.com discussion of the Manifesto’s foundations

Structural Health Monitoring Damage Detection Systems for Aerospace

This open access book presents established methods of structural health monitoring (SHM) and discusses their technological merit in the current aerospace environment. While the aerospace industry aims for weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and to decrease maintenance time and operating costs, aircraft structures are often designed and built heavier than required in order to accommodate unpredictable failure. A way to overcome this approach is the use of SHM systems to detect the presence of defects. This book covers all major contemporary aerospace-relevant SHM methods, from the basics of each method to the various defect types that SHM is required to detect to discussion of signal processing developments alongside considerations of aerospace safety requirements. It will be of interest to professionals in industry and academic researchers alike, as well as engineering students.
