Development of a Responsive Target for Tracking Tasks in the Dynamic Environmental Simulator.
Abstract
Research was conducted to determine whether any of the available air-to-air combat simulations could be readily adapted to the need for a responsive target in the dynamic environmental simulator. Computer subroutines were written to make logical role and tactics decisions based on relative aircraft states, to make variations in decision parameters corresponding to differences in pilots, to provide desired control inputs to implement the role and tactics decision, and to provide for finite control rates. A test program was written incorporating the differential equations of motion of the simulated target. The equations of state of the opposing vehicle were included in the test program. Four sets of initial conditions and target flight paths were run, each involving three different pilot skill levels. The results were evaluated to determine the validity of the programmed target.
