Evaluation of an Unmanned Airborne System for Monitoring Marine Mammals
Evaluation of an Unmanned Airborne System for Monitoring Marine MammalsAngelo State University The document evaluates the use of an unmanned airborne system (UAS) for monitoring marine mammals. Sixteen surveys were conducted over 10 days to detect 128 simulated whale targets. Various weather conditions were encountered. Logistic regression models found that Beaufort wind force had the strongest influence on detection rates, with target color and inflation also affecting rates. Overall detection rates of simulated large whales using UASs were similar to manned aircraft surveys, though the search area was smaller. The best detection occurred with low (~2) Beaufort wind force. The UAS showed promise but improvements are needed before it could efficiently detect all species.

“Strategic Evolution and Global Impact of BRICS: Trade, Governance & Future D...
“Strategic Evolution and Global Impact of BRICS: Trade, Governance & Future D...br3002611 Introduction to BRICS
BRICS, an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, represents a coalition of emerging economies that have grown into a powerful voice in global economic and geopolitical affairs. Initially coined as “BRIC” by economist Jim O’Neill in 2001, this alliance gained institutional shape over the years and has evolved into a critical pillar of the multipolar world order. With the addition of South Africa in 2010 and subsequent expansions, BRICS now encompasses a significant portion of the world’s population, GDP, and trade capacity.
Historical Evolution and Foundation
The journey of BRICS began with informal ministerial meetings in 2006 and formalized in 2009 with the first summit. Since then, the alliance has held annual summits, collaborated on developmental banking, and continuously advocated for the reform of global financial governance institutions such as the IMF and World Bank.
South Africa’s inclusion was strategic, making BRICS more representative of the Global South. The establishment of the New Development Bank (NDB) in 2014 and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) cemented BRICS' resolve to support sustainable development and provide alternatives to Western-dominated financial structures.
Current Membership and Expanding Influence
Initially comprising five countries, BRICS is expanding. As of the 16th Summit in Kazan, 2024, six more countries—Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Argentina—have either joined or shown interest, increasing the bloc’s relevance. This wider representation not only broadens market access but also strengthens BRICS as a strategic counterbalance to Western alliances like the G7 or NATO.
With the inclusion of new members, BRICS covers:
42% of global population
30% of global land area
23% of global GDP
44% of crude oil production
Objectives and Institutional Mechanisms
BRICS primarily aims to:
Reform global governance institutions for greater equity
Promote South-South cooperation
Encourage sustainable development
Reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar and Western-controlled systems
Key institutional mechanisms include:
Annual BRICS Summits
New Development Bank (NDB)
Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA)
BRICS Business Council
Think Tank Network for Finance
These structures foster deeper economic integration, financial autonomy, and policy collaboration across member states.
Key Themes from the 16th BRICS Summit (Kazan, Russia 2024)
The latest summit emphasized:
Expansion and inclusion of new members
Promotion of multilateralism and peaceful conflict resolution (Ukraine, West Asia)
Financial integration through non-dollar trade systems
Launch of the BRICS Grain Exchange
Wildlife conservation (Big Cats initiative)
India-China diplomatic reset on border issues
Strategic Benefits for Individual Members
Each member contributes uniquely:
Brazil: Agricultural powerhouse and energy exporter
Russia: Major energy supplier and strategic geopolitical

- 9. Aircraft missions that have led to the development of Earth Science spacecraft instruments • Aircraft flights in the 80’s and 90’s led to the GSFC laser altimetry design of the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter, or MOLA on the Mars Global Surveyor and the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA). • Laser altimetry by the WFF Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM) started to map the height of the ice caps operationally in 1993 and has since then provided the data set that first showed the loss of the Greenland ice mass and is the primary instrument for Operation IceBridge. ATM was also critical for the development of ICESat and will be a key instrument for ICESat-2 cal/val efforts. The 20+ year ATM Greenland time series is baseline data set for all cryospheric missions and science efforts. • Aircraft flights of the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) MASTER, AirMISR and MOPITT instruments lead to the MODIS, MOPITT and MISR instruments on the EOS- Terra and Aqua satellites. • The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar on the CALIPSO/CloudSat satellite was demonstrated first on NASA aircraft flights.

- 15. Swift WFF-managed Balloon missions have contributed in essential ways to GSFC scientific spacecraft missions. • Over 30 spacecraft instrument in the last 4 decades first flew on balloons. • Balloon flights of the differential radiometer and Far IR spectrum of the CMB laid the critical ground work for the design of instruments for COBE and WMAP. • Detectors on the RHESSI mission were first developed and demonstrated on balloon-borne instruments. • The scintillating fiber trajectory detector on the ACE Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer was demonstrated first in a balloon flight. • On the EOS-Aura satellite to study the atmosphere's chemistry and dynamics, the MLS, TES, and HIRDLS instruments all trace their heritage to instruments that first flew on balloons. • GSFC In-Focus Balloon flights of the cadmium-zinc- telluride CZT array led to the design the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) instrument.
