ADVANCED AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ATTACK/FIGHTER AIRCRAFT.
Abstract
This final engineering report discusses results of the flight test of a reliable, high-performance, advanced, automatic flight control system (AFCS) for high-performance fighter/attack airplanes. The flight test was conducted under a program to achieve a degree of standardization in such systems. The system employs a submodular electronic design concept, known commercially under the trade name of Millimin. Millimin submodules are used as units in a building-block technique which provides a system that is universally adaptable and which has maximum growth capabilities. The AFCS is capable of accepting additional command inputs from automatic carrier landing systems, from air data and bombing/navigation systems, and from ground control systems, thus providing additional automatic functions.
