In the area of inertial confinement fusion (ICF ), the Department is conducting an aggressive research program to support the stockpile.
There are various methods that can be incorporated for such environments such as using gyros, digital compasses or some method of inertial navigation.
Navigation is state of the art with ring laser gyros, inertial reference systems GPS, doppler and radar altimeters.
In the mathematical literature this set is called an inertial manifold.
My further interests include non-linear predictive control, strap down inertial navigation and sensor fusion.
