| Abstract | The goal of this project is to produce an inexpensive yet highly reliable system for detecting wind shear at small and improvised airfields. While the largest commercial airports do have wind shear detection systems and they have proven to be life savers, the overwhelming majority of places where aircraft land have no such protection. The system described here is self-organizing, redundant and highly fault tolerant. It has no single point of failure and can continue operation even after a significant number of node failures. It uses inexpensive, off-the-shelf hardware and can quickly be deployed in rough conditions by minimally skilled personnel, providing pilots with potentially life-saving real time data. It is eminently suitable for use on improvised airfields for military and disaster response purposes. It can also be easily reprogrammed to detect wake turbulence instead of or in addition to low-level wind shear. The working prototype has only five nodes and is too small to protect a real airfield, but tests show that the architecture is scalable to over 100 nodes without modification, which is enough for an airfield of significant size. Using nothing but off the shelf components with novel software, the prototypes were ready for initial field trials in less than six months from initial concept. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
