GEM CONTROL SYSTEM STUDY.

Abstract

An analog computer dynamic simulation of ground effect machines (GEM'S) is discussed. The primary objective of this work has been to develop, design, and test a completely universal GEM simulation system. During 1962, the initial computer program's usefulness was found to be limited by the operator's control system and the poor operator data presentation system. Efforts were expended to eliminate these deficiencies by accomplishment of the following tasks: (a) Evaluation of the basic simulator system to establish design criteria; (b) the design and fabrication of a prototype operator's control station; (c) the development, design, and fabrication of a visual presentation system; (d) integration of the operator's control station and visual generator system into the analog computer program; and (e) development of an ocean wave generating system.
