The helmet-mounted sight/display system (HMSDS) is a typical man-machine interaction system that has significant advantages in utilization. Since the HMSDS is a complex head-borne vision equipment, it may make the users feel uncomfortable or even cause danger to them if it is not designed properly. In this paper, the operational tasks of HMSDS are analyzed, the existed problems of human/system performance are pointed out, and a man-machine interaction model is proposed. The methods for man/machine perfomance design and key factors that should be taken into consideration are presented in the end.

    Target allocation is an important job in cooperative control of multiple UAVs.The mathematic model for multi-UAV cooperative target assignment was established and a multi-UAV target assignment algorithm based on the satisficing decision-making theory was given.A satisficing set was proposed according to the estimated benefits and costs when each UAV complete the task.A satisfied allocation result was obtained by establishing a reject function and a selection function. Numerical simulations were made under the Matlab environment.The simulation results show that the developed satisficing allocation decision-making algorithm is effective for the cooperative task allocation of the UAVs.

    The radar with high sampling rate always fails to track a slow moving target when using nearest neighbor data association under the clutter background, since its measuring error is much greater than the real moving distance of the target.To improve tracking precision to the slow moving target, an adaptive range nearest neighbor data association algorithm is proposed.This method uses the location information of the state vector to calculate the real range instead of calculating the statistical range of prediction center and measurements, the tracking precision is improved by reducing the missing association probability.The real range gate size relates to measuring error and the distance of radar and target.Simulation results show that the algorithm can enable the radar with high sampling rate track the low-moving target effectively with relatively high precision.

    Because of targets complicated movement, conventional ISAR imaging algorithm can not meet the demands of maneuvering target imaging.On the basis of analyzing the echo’s non-linear Doppler shifts caused by maneuvering target movements, a new ISAR imaging method based on AOK TFR is proposed.The instantaneous target images can be obtained by calculating the AOK TFR of different range bins.Compared with the classical time frequency distribution, the AOK TRF has no cross item interference from multi-component signals.Meanwhile, the instantaneous Doppler frequencies of echoes in range bins are estimated.According to the estimated Doppler frequencies, imaging time can be selected.The simulationd results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

    In order to solve the problem that the estimation accuracy of ordinary federated filter is insufficient when processing the actual targets, especially the maneuvering targets, a new federated filter is proposed based on interacting multiple model(IMM) algorithm.The IMM algorithm is introduced in the federated filter instead of Kalman filter as a sub-filter to prevent the divergence in nonlinear situation and enhance the estimate accuracy and stability.The simulation results show that the estimation error of the federated IMM filter is continually limited to a certain bound while processing the maneuvering targets, which reveals its fine stability and fault tolerance.

    Laser transmission in the atmosphere is influenced by the atmospheric turbulence and other factors, which may degrade the laser beam quality and the operational effect of the laser.The low spatial frequency part usually deviates significantly from theoretic value generated by power spectrum method.To solve the problem, we used H-V model to establish the model of atmospheric turbulence effects on laser at day and nigh, and the algorithm of Zernike to generate the phase screen of atmospheric turbulence.The result of simulation of atmospheric turbulence meets the Kolmogonov statistics law.The result shows that low-frequency part of atmospheric turbulence can be well reflected by the algorithm of Zernike, and the high-frequency part can also be reflected finely with the increasing of order of Zernike.The system parameters of ABL and ATL of USA were used to simulate the distorted wavefront of high-power lasers atmospheric propagation.The result shows that the maximal P-V value of turbulent phase screen of ATL is about 3.5λ, and is about 7.5λ for the ABL system, which may provide a reference to the design of the adaptive optic system for high-power lasers.
