Biography

Dr Anderson was awarded a first class honours degree in aeronautical engineering from the University of Glasgow in 1994. He then completed his PhD study (thesis entitled “active control of turbulence induced helicopter vibration”), also from Glasgow University in 1997. Following this he was employed as a senior sightline control engineer by SELEX Galileo Sensors & Airborne Systems (then BAE SYSTEMS) in Edinburgh where he designed the precision pointing & stabilisation controllers on a number of airborne electro-optic systems. In 2001 he moved to industrial systems & control to take a position as a principal technical consultant. This role was principally one of technology transfer with Dr Anderson providing research support to the Industrial Control Centre at the University of Strathclyde and then ‘re-interpreting’ these results for industrial clients in the aerospace, defence and automotive sectors. In 2004 he re-joined the University of Glasgow as a lecturer in aerospace systems and was promoted to senior lecturer in 2011.

Research Interests

Dr Anderson has a number of research interests all centred on the general theme of autonomous systems, with particular emphasis on Survivability and Airborne Surveillance (SAS).

  • Nonlinear Sightline Control. This research topic centres on new methods for pointing & stabilisation, image processing and target tracking for (prediminantly) airborne electro-optic systems.
  • Multi-Agent, Multi-Resolution Simulation. Development of large-scale, multiple fidelity battlefield simulation for operational analysis through to detailed engineering simulation using a proprietary simulation engine.
  • Platform Survivability. Integration of sightline and nonlinear flight control techniques for maximising the survivability of rotorcraft to rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attack.
  • Guidance,Navigation & Control. Researching novel algorithms for single and multi-platform GNC. Application areas include robust path planning, swarm control, missile guidance etc.
  • Rotocraft Simulation. Conventional forward and inverse simulation of rotorcraft.

Expertise

Dr Anderson has significant expertise in the general areas of modelling, simulation and control of complex systems. In particular he has over 15 years experience of writing aircraft flight mechanics codes for both fixed and rotary-wing aircraft in both low-level (fortran, C++) and high-level (MATLAB, SIMULINK, Mathcad) API’s. He also has experience in the systems engineering design and modelling of airborne electro-optic systems, radar, inertial navigation systems and integrated control solutions. He also has extensive experience of experimental test and validation of his control codes (C/C++ and LabVIEW) as several of his designs are currently deployed on in-service equipment.
