Wireless Module Research

Wireless communication is common-place, but the frequency bands, protocols used, and features available vary widely on the wireless technology used. Implementing wireless communication in any project starts with the specification of functional requirements for the given project. However, a general understanding of the available wireless modules will help with the selection process. This whitepaper intends to provide a general overview of wireless technologies available for implementation into a project.

A Review of MEMS-Based Magnetic Sensors

This whitepaper reviews current micro-electrical and mechanical systems
(MEMS) based magnetic sensors. The intent is to determine possible future directions for the commercial development of these sensors in magnetic flux leakage testing devices.

Process Simulation Using CAD Analysis

In the world of Modeling and Simulation it is common to model physical movement of objects throughout a defined area. This can be accomplished by predefining travel times between every possible location in the defined area, but when dealing with a large set of locations, this option no longer becomes efficient. In this case a method for dynamically discovering a location and determining its relationship to other locations is required. The flexibility of this method can also allow the possibility of feeding the model a different set of locations for different results.

Human Intelligence Activities Simulation

Infotek provides Data Driven Modeling and Simulation (DD M&S) solutions to our customers. One example is the NavAir General Arrangements Maintenance and Manpower Analysis (GAMMA) Simulator currently under development. Infotek’s contribution to GAMMA is two-fold. First, the distance between the maintenance areas and the supply compartments is determined by reading original CAD drawings and generating path information. Second, the entire maintenance activity on a CVN 21 class carrier, including operations- and intermediate-level maintenance and supply, is modeled and ship deployments are simulated. GAMMA allows the operator to run multiple scenarios to optimize the maintenance performance of the aircraft carrier.
