Panel Posts on Recent Activities 

Aerospace Control and Guidance Systems Committee (ACGSC)

The last meeting of the year was held 16-18 October in Williamsburg, Virginia. Short and full committee briefings were held within the panel topic areas of aircraft and surface vehicles, missiles and space, avionics and systems, dynamics and analysis, and flight, propulsion, and autonomous control.

Avionics Systems Panel (ASP)

The Avionics Systems Panel (ASP) is a Technical Panel of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society (AESS). The Panel shall address avionics systems for all aircraft systems supporting commercial, military, and general aviation operations. The avionics system functions include communications; command and control; navigation; surveillance; manned/unmanned air traffic management; and space systems (launch vehicles, spacecraft, and satellites.

  • Sponsored Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC) jointly with AIAA at San Diego, CA from 10-12 September 2019
    • One of the best attended avionics conferences over the last ten years (335 attendees from more than 25 countries presented over 200 technical papers)
    • Offered two full days of tutorials prior to conference start.  Approximately 140 tutorial attendee registrations – highest for any DASC in the last twenty-five years
    • Held first outreach event for Young Professionals and Women in Engineering at a Digital Avionics Conference
    • Panel members presented a paper on Avionics System Panel roles and objectives at a technical session
    • The DASC conference will be the launchpad to establish strong ties for ASP in UAM/UAS/UTM space by collaborating with the industry leaders who participated as keynote and panel speakers
    • Sponsored Integrated Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (ICNS) Conference with AIAA during 9-11 April 2019 at Washington Dulles, Virginia.
  • AESS Magazine article outlining ASP objectives, goals and technology priorities is under development.  Expect the article to be ready for publication by the end of 2019
  • Meetings
    • Face to face meeting of ASP and Cyber Panel members with DASC attendees on 12 September 2019 at San Diego, CA
    • Monthly teleconferences are held for ASP members

Gyro and Accelerometer Panel (GAP)

The GAP’s last meeting was held in Tucson, Arizona on 16 and 17 September, hosted by the Raytheon Missile Systems. The next GAP meeting will be held in Alamogordo, New Mexico in November 2019. If you are interested in participating in the development of any of the GAP activities, contact the panel Chair ([email protected]).


  • The revision of IEEE Std 528, “IEEE Standard for Inertial Sensor Terminology,” is in the hands of the IEEE editors.  The proofs have already been reviewed and comments were sent back to the editors.
  • The revision of IEEE Std 952, “IEEE Standard Specification Format Guide and Test Procedure for Single-Axis Interferometric Fiber Optic Gyros,” is in progress.  The balloting pool has been formed and Mandatory Editorial Coordination (MEC) has been completed, although the GAP is still working on resolving the comments from the MEC.
  • A project authorization request (PAR) has been submitted to revise IEEE Std 1559, “IEEE Standard for Inertial Systems Terminology.“  About 50 new definitions and acronyms have been added to the existing 262.

Radar Systems Panel (RSP)

Moving into 2020, the RSP plans to put together an ad hoc committee to explore the prospect of a Transactions on Radar journal linking to a strong, sustained growth in the Radar Conference series. Student Papers Awards will now be overseen by a dedicated committee within the RSP. Ongoing discussions are being held on the best ways to increase industry participation within the Radar Conference series and the IEEE radar community and expand the footprint of AESS into the civilian radar community. Additionally, RSP is working to determine the best path to ensure long-term sustainment of the Radar Summer School.


Panel Future Directions

  • Ad hoc committee exploring the prospect of a Transactions on Radar journal (want to link to strong, sustained growth in the Radar Conference series)
  • Moved the Student Papers Awards out of being run by the Radar Conference and now overseen by a dedicated committee within the RSP (ensure global perspective and consistent operation)
  • Discussing ways in which to increase/sustain industry participation within the Radar Conference series and the IEEE radar community
  • Continuing to work to expand the footprint of AESS into the civilian radar community
  • Determining the best path ensure long-term sustainment of the Radar Summer School
  • Radar Technology Future Directions
  • mm-wave / THz sensing and applications thereof
  • expanding civil applications in automotive safety, wearables, and variety of autonomous vehicles
  • software-defined radar capabilities
  • Radar spectrum sharing (with 5G & beyond) and multi-function systems (RF convergence)
  • continued expansion of waveform diversity capabilities and applications
  • increasing decision autonomy in sensor systems (cognitive RF)
  • quantum radar (though somewhat controversial)
  • Electromagnetic spectrum maneuver
  • integrated multi-modality systems (acoustics, optical, EO, IR, RF, etc.)
  • Distributed/networked sensing
  • “system-on-chip” radars
  • Integration of passive and active sensing
  • “extreme fidelity” systems (ultra-stable clocks, digitization at higher bandwidths, higher bit depths for dynamic range)
  • Advances in metamaterials for dynamically reconfigurable operating modes
