Overview Context of work Start of COE Past (Phase I) Current (Phase II) Future (Phase III+) Conclusion
GBADS Environment Targets Assets Weapon Systems HQ Radar Sensors
Start of COE • The problem • Evaluation of EADS TEWA • No local knowledge TEWA • ADA (previously handrolic) • The solution • COE at University of Stellenbosch • Multiple collaborators (industry & end-users) • Limited scope (fixed-wing, battery level)
LEDGER Ph I (past) • Student projects(2004-2009) • 2 x Honours (WA) • 6 x Masters (TE & WA) • 1 x PhD (TE) • Articles & Conferences • 2 x Articles (Orion OR Journal) • 30 x Presentations (ORSSA, IFORS & LEDGER)
LEDGER Ph I (past) • Student work • Evaluation of EADS TEWA • Work in GBADS environment • End-user workshops • RRS workshops (Doctrine) • ADA school (Doctrine & Validation)
LEDGER Ph II (current) • Student projects (2009-2010) • 1 x Masters (UD) • Utility theory in support of resource assignment • Danie Lötter • 1 x PhD (OOTW) • Towards coastal TE DS • Jacques du Toit
LEDGER Ph II (current) • Development of TEWA CD • 1st order TE subsystem • 1storder WA subsystem • Generic TEWA framework • End-user feedback • Defining of new models • Tweaking of model parameters • Support doctrine development
LEDGER Ph III (future) • Ongoing student projects • 1 x Masters • 1 x PhD • New student projects • 1 x Masters • Scheduling in real-time WA • Michelle van der Merwe
LEDGER Ph III (future) • Development Capability • Generic TEWA framework (c++) • TE subsystem • WA subsystem • AM subsystem • ADC testing environment (actual software) • Evaluation & testing (Matlab) • Close cooperation with DPSS • Invite to students & industry partners
LEDGER Ph III (future) • Possible work (conventional warfare) • TEWA or TERA on higher levels of AD • Hostility & Platform classification (TM-related)
Possible topics Masters topic: Design of a TERA system on ADA regiment level Masters topic: Design of a TERA system on JAD level PhD topic: Design of a WA subsystem in the GBAD environment (battery level)
LEDGER Ph III (future) • Possible work (OOTW) • Task force assignment for SAP • Example: Soccer world cup 2010 • Border patrol • Coastal surveillance
Possible topics Masters topic: Design of a RA DSS in a law enforcement environment PhD topic: Design of a multi-timescale TE DSS with respect to drug trafficking and poaching in a marine and coastal management environment
Conclusion • Thorough theoretical foundation • Theory being applied • End-user satisfied • Generic TEWA framework • Future possibilities • Conventional warfare work • Operation other than war work
