The anti-drone system blocks drones from entering a protected area. The aim of this project is to design a drone detection mechanism using the RF control signal exchanged between the drone and its remote controller. The system generates a high-power jamming signal transmitted over the same carrier frequency and band of the detected drone (project supports only 2.4 GHz band) and directed towards the drone location in order to disconnect it from its controller causing safe landing or return to home mechanisms to triggered.

For multi_level multi_module in the flexible HVDC converter (MMC) module capacitor control algorithm is commonly based on nearest voltage level modulation (NLM), this algorithm requires the decimal part of the input sine wave for analog-to-digital conversion by digital signal (digital pulse modulation, referred to as DPWM),in the choice of hysteretic DPWM control signal is better, if the input triangle carrier wave frequency selection is not good, in each digital signal level will cause the output frequency of DPWM is not stable, some DPWM frequency is too high, and some DPWM has no output. In order to solve this problem, to meet the requirements of control precision, the carrier frequency change DPWM triangular wave, the output ideal control signal, the output control signal is analyzed, put forward how to carry out DPWM frequency selection. Through the simulation certified the feasibility of this method, the control method of downloading to the field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip, the results of the actual control operation show that this method can optimize the control of flexible HVDC.

Abstract. Owing to the different approaches for remote tower operation, a standardized set of indicators is needed to evaluate the technical implementations at a task performance level. One of the most influential factors for air traffic control is weather. This article describes the influence of weather metrics on remote tower operations and how to validate them against each other. Weather metrics are essential to the evaluation of different remote controller working positions. Therefore, weather metrics were identified as part of a validation at the Erfurt-Weimar Airport. Air traffic control officers observed weather events at the tower control working position and the remote control working position. The eight participating air traffic control officers answered time-synchronized questionnaires at both workplaces. The questionnaires addressed operationally relevant weather events in the aerodrome. The validation experiment targeted the air traffic control officer’s ability to categorize and judge the same weather event at different workplaces. The results show the potential of standardized indicators for the evaluation of performance and the importance of weather metrics in relation to other evaluation metrics.

Abstract. Power facilitates goal pursuit, but how does power affect the way people respond to conflict between their multiple goals? Our results showed that higher trait power was associated with reduced experience of conflict in scenarios describing multiple goals (Study 1) and between personal goals (Study 2). Moreover, manipulated low power increased individuals’ experience of goal conflict relative to high power and a control condition (Studies 3 and 4), with the consequence that they planned to invest less into the pursuit of their goals in the future. With its focus on multiple goals and individuals’ experiences during goal pursuit rather than objective performance, the present research uses new angles to examine power effects on goal pursuit.
