Abstract	Systems Technology, Inc. (STI) is nearing completion of a NASA Dryden Phase II SBIR, which has developed methods and supporting software for aircraft loss of control detection using wavelets. Work is advancing on a NASA Ames project on intelligent displays for time-critical maneuvering of multi-axis vehicles. The focus is on the development of displays, based on near real time trajectory optimization, to train and ultimately cue rotorcraft pilots in autorotation and reduced-power conditions. An integrated anthropometrics, vehicle dynamics, and biodynamics software tool is being developed under an Army Research Lab Phase II SBIR. This software combines the STI VDANL ground vehicle simulation with an extensively revised version of the STI BIODYN biodynamics software and integrates these with the EDS JACK “digital human” software. STI is beginning a study of autonomous flight control for the Missile Defense Agency’s High Altitude Airship (HAA), which is intended to provide a stratospheric (65-70 kft) sensor platform. STI is currently conducting four studies for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which involve the STISIM Drive driving simulator. One study examines the use of low cost simulators in novice driver training and the others address assessment of drivers due to impairment from disease, brain injury, and aging.
