PULSED ACOUSTIC VORTEX SENSING SYSTEM. VOLUME II. STUDIES OF IMPROVED PAVSS PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

Avco Corporation's Systems Division designed and developed an engineered Pulsed Acoustic Vortex Sensing System (PAVSS). This system is capable of real-time detection, tracking, recording, and graphic display of aircraft trailing vortices. This volume of the report presents the results of two subcontractor studies directed toward development of improved vortex tracking software techniques for the PAVSS. The volume recommends the incorporation of several improvements in the software. The subcontractor final reports (Scope Electronics, Inc. and Arcon Corporation) are furnished as appendixes to this volume.
