A fully integrated energy-based approach to mission planning is needed if the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) is to succeed. Such an approach would reduce the number of new systems and technologies requiring development. The resultant horizontal commonality of systems and hardware would reduce the direct economic impact of SEI and provide an economic benefit by greatly enhancing our international technical competitiveness through technology spin-offs and through the resulting early return on investment. Integrated planning and close interagency cooperation must occur if the SEI is to achieve its goal of expanding the human presence into the solar system and be an affordable endeavor. An energy-based mission planning approach gives each mission planner the needed power, yet preserves the individuality of mission requirements and objectives while reducing the concessions mission planners must make. This approach may even expand the mission options available and enhance mission activities.

This report describes the tasks conducted to provide detailed human factors engineering specifications for the construction and programming of the IMPS and the results of these tasks. The specific project objectives were to define IMPS functional requirements, design IMPS airborne hardware, design IMPS ground-based hardware, and to maximize the aviator-computer compatibility of the IMPS system. The project approach included a literature review, observation of the aviator task performances, interviews with subject matter experts, surveys, perceptual studies, human engineering analyses, detail design specification studies, and dialogue development analyses. The outcome of these efforts is described in terms of an overview of system components and functions, and detailed descriptions of operation of the airborne and ground-based portions of the IMPS system. Each of the major functions of the IMPS system is discussed, and the operational requirements, present deficiencies, IMPS capabilities, and IMPS operating procedures are identified. Appendices to the report provide hardware design criteria and a complete specification of the interactive dialogue system.

Coordination between different United Nations (UN) entities has become an issue of increasing concern for scholars and practitioners. With the UN taking on ever more ambitious roles in countries emerging from conflict, no single unit can master the task of post-conflict reconstruction alone. However, efforts at reorganizing the way the UN works in peacebuilding have not yielded the desired result of ensuring a more effective UN presence. To offer fresh inputs for the debate, Organizing Peacebuilding looks at coordination from a theoretical perspective. It develops a framework for interorganizational coordination and applies it to the UN and to two selected case examples, the UN missions in Kosovo and Afghanistan. The research suggests that in order to improve coordination, the UN should acknowledge its network character and cultivate those social and structural control mechanisms which facilitate coordination in networks.

Mission planning has come a long way from the days of the Wright brothers first flight in 1903. Today, mission planning has grown into an activity as complex as the machines that carry out the missions. No longer a luxury, automated mission planning systems are vital to the success of current and future air operations. The history of automated mission planning development has been a chaotic combination of official systems and grassroots stovepipes. The Air Force has always leaned towards Unix based mission planning systems, but recent growth in the microprocessor industry has made personal computers a viable option. The Air Force's continued emphasis on Unix based mission planning systems designed to do everything for everyone has created a bottleneck which may become a critical failure point when examined in light of increasing mission planning requirements. This paper relies on up to date information obtained through interviews and recent publications to analyze this bottleneck from the perspective of F-16 mission planning. As F-16 mission planning requirements grew through the early 1980's, early mission planning systems progressed along two paths. The larger effort was in the large Unix based systems, which were generally better funded and large scoped projects. The second path was personal computer (PC) based systems, and while smaller in every sense has always been the preferred path by the users. Currently, two members of the Air Force Mission Support System (AFMSS) family dominate mission planning: the Unix based Mission Planning System (MPS) and the PC based Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS). The size, cost, usability, and portability of the MPS systems have created a bottleneck that threatens the future of mission planning unless a new direction is taken. This new direction must feature heavier use of PC systems, with emphasis on integrated products as opposed to one master mission planner that attempts to fulfill everyone's needs.

The volume includes a set of selected papers extended and revised from the 2011 International Conference on Mechanical Engineering and Technology, held on London, UK, November 24-25, 2011. Mechanical engineering technology is the application of physical principles and current technological developments to the creation of useful machinery and operation design. Technologies such as solid models may be used as the basis for finite element analysis (FEA) and / or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the design. Through the application of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), the models may also be used directly by software to create "instructions" for the manufacture of objects represented by the models, through computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining or other automated processes, without the need for intermediate drawings. This volume covers the subject areas of mechanical engineering and technology, and also covers interdisciplinary subject areas of computers, communications, control and automation. We hope that researchers, graduate students and other interested readers benefit scientifically from the book and also find it stimulating in the process.

The direction of the American space program, as defined by President Bush and the National Commission on Space, is to expand human presence into the solar system. Landing an American on Mars by the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing is the goal. This challenge has produced a level of excitement among young Americans not seen for nearly three decades. The exploration and settlement of the space frontier will occupy the creative thoughts and energies of generations of Americans well into the next century. The return of Americans to the moon and beyond must be viewed as a national effort with strong public support if it is to become a reality. Key to making this an actuality is the mission approach selected. Developing a permanent presence in space requires a continual stepping outward from Earth in a logical progressive manner. If we seriously plan to go and to stay, then not only must we plan what we are to do and how we are to do it, we must address the logistic support infrastructure that will allow us to stay there once we arrive. A fully integrated approach to mission planning is needed if the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) is to be successful. Only in this way can a permanent human presence in space be sustained. An integrated infrastructure approach would reduce the number of new systems and technologies requiring development. The resultant horizontal commonality of systems and hardware would reduce the direct economic impact of SEI while an early return on investment through technology spin-offs would be an economic benefit by greatly enhancing our international technical competitiveness. If the exploration, development, and colonization of space is to be affordable and acceptable, careful consideration must be given to such things as return on investment'' and commercial product potential'' of the technologies developed. 7 refs., 3 figs.

In Phase I we have determined that existing decision analysis, artificial intelligence and operations research planning aids can be integrated in a research environment to provide a significant capability for addressing the overall hierarchical planning of tactical fighter air to ground missions. The aids selected during Phase I each address a different level of the offensive counter air (OCA) mission planning process: (1) Target Prioritization Aid (TPA) supports the user in determining the best enemy airfields to attack, given the number of friendly fighter bombers available; (2) KNOBS (knowldege based system) provides an interactive capability for assigning aircraft and ordnance to each target in turn, and (3) Route Planning Air (RPA) provides for finding a nearly optimal route to the target, with respect to survival of the fighter. An architecture has been designed to incorporate these three kernel aids within an integrated planning tool. As part of this design effort, we have produced a theory of hierarchical software systems and derived a body of design principles. Additional keywords: Air Force planning. (Author).
