- This work presents an approach for information exchange between adjacent air operations domains by means of graph technologies. The approach has the ability to leverage interoperability and collaboration between air- and ground-based systems and stakeholders in respective domains. In its foundation, it provides a means for relevant actors to access and assess relevant data, information and knowledge, and thus provide input in terms of viable action alternatives in a complex and dynamic operational context. As a proof-of-concept, we have utilizeda full-stack application framework to implement a decision support demonstrator for operational aircraft maintenance. Our solution facilitates a lightweight and dynamic representation of relevant domain knowledge,readily available for exploitation by graph algorithms, adapted to our domain. We have based our implementation on the full-stack application framework Grand-Stack, which is an architecture designed to exploit the power of graphs throughout its stack.

- Proactive maintenance management of world-class standard is close to impossible without the support of a computerized management system. In order to reduce failures, and failure recurrence, the key information to log are failure causes. However, Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) seems to be scarcely used for analysis for improvement initiatives. One part of this is due to the fact that many CMMS utilizes free-text fields which may be difficult to analyze statistically. The aim of this study is to apply Natural Language Processing (NPL), Ontology and Machine Learning (ML) as a means to analyze free-textual information from a CMMS. Through the initial steps of the study, it was concluded though that none of these methods were able to find any suitable hidden patterns with high-performance accuracy that could be related to recurring failures and their root causes. The main reason behind that was that the free-textual information was too unstructured, in terms of for instance: spelling- and grammar mistakes and use of slang. That is the quality of the data are not suitable for the analysis. However, several improvement potentials in reporting and to develop the CMMS further could be provided to the company so that they in the future more easily will be able to analyze its maintenance data.

- Companies must enhance total maintenance effectiveness to stay competitive, focusing on both digitalization and basic maintenance procedures. Digitalization offers technologies for data-driven decision-making, but many maintenance decisions still lack a factual basis. Prioritizing efficiency and effectiveness require analyzing equipment history, facilitated by using Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS). However, CMMS data often contains unstructured free-text, leading to manual analysis, which is resource-intensive and reactive, focusing on short time periods and specific equipment. Two approaches are available to solve the issue: minimizing free-text entries or using advanced methods for processing them. Free-text allows detailed descriptions but may lack completeness, while structured reporting aids automated analysis but may limit fault description richness. As knowledge and experience are vital assets for companies this research uses a hybrid approach by combining Natural Language Processing with domain specific ontology and Large Language Models to extract information from free-text entries, enabling the possibility of real-time analysis e.g., identifying recurring failure and knowledge sharing across global sites.

- Ontology development plays a vital role as it provides a structured way to represent and organize knowledge. It has the potential to connect and integrate data from different sources, enabling a new class of AI-based services and systems such as decision support systems and recommender systems. However, in large manufacturing industries, the development of such ontology can be challenging. This paper presents a use case of an application ontology development based on machine breakdown work orders coming from a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Here, the ontology is developed using a Knowledge Meta Process: Methodology for Ontology-based Knowledge Management. This ontology development methodology involves steps such as feasibility study, requirement specification, identifying relevant concepts and relationships, selecting appropriate ontology languages and tools, and evaluating the resulting ontology. Additionally, this ontology is developed using an iterative process and in close collaboration with domain experts, which can help to ensure that the resulting ontology is accurate, complete, and useful for the intended application. The developed ontology can be shared and reused across different AI systems within the organization, facilitating interoperability and collaboration between them. Overall, having a well-defined ontology is critical for enabling AI systems to effectively process and understand information.

Ingår i: 33rd Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences, ICAS 2022. - : International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences. - 9781713871163 ; , s. 5591-5596

- Many high-voltage line monitoring companies have been using drones to carry out preventive inspection. The inspection procedure usually makes use of pilots that control drones which films the transmission lines. Afterwards, the images need to be analyzed in order to detect problems. This work proposes the usage of drones that make autonomous flights to perform the inspection. The proposed approach exploits three drones to inspect each important part of a transmission line, with the first inspecting the wires, the second inspecting the towers and the third checking the safety area under the line. All three drones are controlled by an embedded system with artificial intelligence which is able to identify a potential problem and issue an alert to locations that might present issues. © 2022 ICAS.

- Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarms, also known as drone swarms, have been a subject of extensive research due to their potential to enhance monitoring, surveillance, and search missions. Coordinating several drones flying simultaneously presents a challenge in increasing their level of automation and intelligence to improve strategic organization. To address this challenge, we propose a solution that uses hill climbing, potential fields, and search strategies in conjunction with a probability map to coordinate a UAV swarm. The UAVs are autonomous and equipped with distributed intelligence to facilitate a cooperative search application. Our results show the effectiveness of the swarm, indicating that this approach is a promising approach to addressing this problem.

- The increasingly complex context of dynamic, high-tempo military air operations raise new needs for aircraft maintenance and logistic support systems to more rapidly respond to changes in operational needs and available resources, with retained support resource efficiency. The future maintenance and support system are thus envisioned with improved net-centric capabilities to facilitate matching of tactical needs with aircraft maintenance capabilities. The study addresses this challenge by creating abstract representations and definitions of relevant tactical structures and maintenance structures, processes, and resources using enterprise modelling. By addressing this in a holistic perspective, a better understanding of the matching problem is achieved, enabling efficient matching of operational needs with available resources. Based on these findings, graph models are created from a domain-centric view of two adjacent domain contexts, which includes command and control and aircraft maintenance contexts. The result has the ability to leverage interoperability and collaboration between air- and ground-based systems by facilitating interactions between tactical needs and aircraft maintenance resources.

- The increasingly complex context of dynamic, high-tempo military air operations raises new needs for airbase aircraft maintenance and logistic support systems to more rapidly respond to changes in operational needs, with retained support resource efficiency. The future maintenance and support system are thus envisioned with improved net-centric capabilities to facilitate matching of tactical needs with aircraft maintenance capabilities. Today military Command and Control (C2) of tactical needs against airbase aircraft maintenance capabilities contain many manual activities. This constrains speed of execution as well as drives manning requirements, and there is a need to further develop existing IS and IT support. Thus the studied matching capability address these limitations through an approach based on improved integration of the air vehicle on-board health management system with corresponding ground-based functions, and exploitation of technologies such as big-data analytics, diagnostic-prognostics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning and reasoning systems in a system-of-system-wide service architecture. However, understanding the concept of matching of tactical needs and aircraft maintenance capabilities requires insights of complex multi-domain C2 interactions and interrelations between the tactical domain and the aircraft maintenance domain. Whereas each domain is quite well understood, the more detailed interrelations between the domains is less studied. This paper present an approach to this problem by creating useful representations of the underpinning insights, by enterprise modeling of abstract representations and definitions of relevant tactical and maintenance structures, processes, and resources, in the airbase context, to better understand the matching problem, and to address this problem through a holistic perspective.

Using a Drone Swarm/Team for Safety, Security and Protection Against Unauthorized Drones
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering. - : Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH. - 9783031396182 ; , s. 263-277

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is an increased need for protection against unauthorized entry of drones as there has been an increased number of reports of UAV’s entering restricted areas. In this paper we explore an approach of using a swarm/team of drones that are able to cooperate, to autonomously engage and disable one or more unauthorized drones entering a restricted area. In our approach, we have investigated technologies for distributed decision-making and task allocation in real-time, in a dynamic simulated environment and developed descriptive models for how such technologies may be exploited in a mission designed for a drone swarm. This includes the definition of discrete tasks, how they interact and how they are composed to form such a mission, as well as the realization and execution of these tasks using machine learning models combined with behaviour trees. To evaluate our approach, we use a simulated environment for mission execution where relevant KPI’s related to the design of the mission have been used to measure how efficient our approach is in deterring or incapacitating unauthorized drones. The evaluation has been performed using Monte-Carlo simulations on a batch of randomized scenarios and measures of effectiveness has been used to measure each scenario instance and later compiled into a final assessment for the main scenario as well as each ingoing task. The results show a mission success in 93% of the simulated scenarios. Of these 93%, 58% of the scenarios resulted in the threat being neutralized and in 35% of the scenarios the threat was driven away from the critical area. We believe that the application of such measurements aids to validate the applicability of this capability in a real-world scenario and in order to assert the relevance of these parameters, future validations in real-world operational scenarios are warranted.

- For the last few years, cases of applying artificial intelligence (AI) to engineering activities towards sustainability have been reported. Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) provides a potential to systematically reach higher and productivity levels, owing to its holistic perspective and consideration of economic and environmental targets. To address the current gap to more systematic deployment of AI with LCE (AI-LCE) we have performed a systematic literature review emphasizing the three aspects:(1) the most prevalent AI techniques, (2) the current AI-improved LCE subfields and (3) the subfields with highly enhanced by AI. A specific set of inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to identify and select academic papers from several fields, i.e. production, logistics, marketing and supply chain and after the selection process described in the paper we ended up with 42 scientific papers. The study and analysis show that there are many AI-LCE papers addressing Sustainable Development Goals mainly addressing: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Sustainable Cities and Communities; and Responsible Consumption and Production. Overall, the papers give a picture of diverse AI techniques used in LCE. Production design and Maintenance and Repair are the top explored LCE subfields whereas logistics and Procurement are the least explored subareas. Research in AI-LCE is concentrated in a few dominating countries and especially countries with a strong research funding and focus on Industry 4.0; Germany is standing out with numbers of publications. The in-depth analysis of selected and relevant scientific papers are helpful in getting a more correct picture of the area which enables a more systematic approach to AI-LCE in the future.
