CANCER DRUGS FROM MARINE BIOCOMBINATORIAL TECHNOLOGY

Not Available System identification is a technology for determining a mathematical model of a dynamic system from observations of its response to inputs. System identification is often regarded as a set of techniques for flight test data processing. This technology has direct application to the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program. A technology need defined for the JSF program is a capability to obtain parameter estimates of the aero-dynamic model for STOVL operation including hover and transition to and from wing borne flight. Aerodynamic properties for STOVL aircraft in hovering flight are extremely important for both performance and handling of the aircraft. The opportunity offered by this Phase I SBIR proposal is a chance to demonstrate a software toolbox that combines sophisticated nonlinear system identification algorithms with a modern software environment that is available from MATLABr. The purpose of this nonlinear system identification toolbox is to provide a user friendly, highly productive environment for extracting simulation mathematical models from flight test data. The integration of the sophisticated algorithms needed for nonlinear system identification tools available to a much wider group of simulation development engineers is the innovation addressed by this proposal.
