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)
5
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)
6
LEDGER Ph I (past) Student work
• Evaluation of EADS TEWA• Work in GBADS environment
End-user workshops• RRS workshops (Doctrine)• ADA school (Doctrine & Validation)
7
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
8
LEDGER Ph II (current) Development of TEWA CD
• 1st order TE subsystem• 1st order WA subsystem• Generic TEWA framework
End-user feedback• Defining of new models• Tweaking of model parameters• Support doctrine development
9
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
10
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 11
LEDGER Ph III (future) Possible work (conventional warfare)
• TEWA or TERA on higher levels of AD• Hostility & Platform classification (TM-
related)
12
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)
13
LEDGER Ph III (future) Possible work (OOTW)
• Task force assignment for SAP Example: Soccer world cup 2010
• Border patrol• Coastal surveillance
14
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
15
Conclusion Thorough theoretical foundation Theory being applied End-user satisfied Generic TEWA framework
Future possibilities• Conventional warfare work• Operation other than war work
