Abstract:
A method and system are provided for executing a protocol for tunneling of transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) packets over a tactical link. The tunneling protocol includes interfacing to a host software on a node of a tactical network using a TAP interface; breaking up ethernet packets from the TAP interface into J16. 0 messages that include payload data from the ethernet packet and header information that uniquely identifies the J16. 0 message for deterministic reassembly of the ethernet packet from the stream of J16. 0 messages in which it is included. The J16. 0 messages may be transmitted using a fighter data link over a tactical network link. At the destination node of the link, the J16. 0 messages may be reassembled into ethernet packets, allowing the tactical network to be implemented as virtual private network having (internet protocol) IP addresses for each node.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide a first data processing system access to a network via a second data processing system. An object is sent to the second data processing system, which object when instantiated on the second data processing system implements a network access program that can subscribe to information from the network and publish information to the network. Subscribed to information is received from the second data processing system.

Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for verifying the placement of tows by a robot. One embodiment includes a robot that includes an end effector that lays up tows, actuators that reposition the end effector, a memory storing a Numerical Control (NC) program, and a robot controller that directs the actuators to reposition the end effector based on the NC program, and instructs the end effector to lay up tows based on the NC program. The system also includes a sensor system comprising an imaging device that acquires images of the tows as the tows are laid-up, a measuring device that generates input as tows are laid-up by the end effector, and a sensor controller that receives images from the imaging device and the input from the measuring device, and updates stored data to correlate the images with instructions in the NC program, based on the input.

Methods And Systems For Use In Identifying Abnormal Behavior In A Control System

International Classification:
G06F 11/07
US Classification:
714 26, 714 37, 714E11029
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for use in identifying abnormal behavior in a control system. Operating events associated with a control system are received, and an actual behavior of the control system is determined based on the received operating events. The actual behavior is compared to expected behavior to determine whether the actual behavior differs from the expected behavior. The expected behavior includes a correlation between a plurality of operating events associated with the control system. The expected behavior is updated based on an indication of whether the actual behavior is abnormal from a user.

Abstract:
A method of coordinating communications between a plurality of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) operating in connection with differing communication languages. A common language is provided which includes common language commands and common language data objects. Common language commands are communicated from a user to a plurality of UAVs through a UAV Interoperability Agent (UIA), which converts the common language commands to UAV-specific commands which can be understood by the specific UAV. Additionally, UAVs send data in a native platform format to the UIA, which converts the native platform data to common language format for collection and interpretation by the user.
