Flight Control Design and Optimization 工具

Figure: Flight Control Design and Optimization 工具

The design, simulation, integration, and flight testing of flight control systems for modern aircraft constitutes a series of challenging multidisciplinary tasks that factor significantly in the overall time and cost of aircraft development.

美国.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Aviation & 导弹 Center (AvMC) in conjunction with San José State University Research Foundation (菠菜网lol正规平台RF), under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with DEVCOM AvMC, have jointly developed a modern integrated toolset that addresses such technical challenges:

cif® (Comprehensive Identification from FrEquency Responses), a system identification tool based on a comprehensive frequency-response approach that is uniquely suited to the difficult problems associated with flight-test data analysis.

管道® (CONtrol Designer's Unified InTerface), a state-of-the-art flight control design and optimization tool that allows the user to rapidly evaluate and optimize control systems against relevant performance specifications and design criteria.

激流 (Real-time Interactive Prototype Technology Integration Development Environment), a high fidelity desktop simulation tool which provides a platform for rapid piloted simulation evaluation of the control law design.

针 is a new software capability that allows a non-expert to create and verify a full-envelope stitched simulation model from individual point models and trim data.

Key Advantages of the 工具et:

  • Unique and integrated design environment that seamlessly brings together all relevant engineering disciplines under 一个 common modeling platform.
  • Offers potential for significant reduction in time and cost of design, optimization, and simulation of modern flight control systems.

Fielding UAS and optionally-piloted systems bears an additional cost in developing algorithms to au汤姆ate the flight control of these systems partially or entirely.
