Aerial Refueling Modeling and Simulation Standardization

Abstract

This document presents a standardized interface for end-to-end Aerial Refueling Model (ARM) of hose-drogue systems with future revision versions of this document to include the Boom/Receptacle method of Aerial Refueling. The conceptual architectural layout presented in this release allows for the integration of an ARM into an independent simulation environment consisting of tanker model, receiver model, environmental components, and/or visual representation to achieve an AR End-to-End simulation. The fidelity, physical properties, and configuration variations of any give ARM is left to the discretion of the ARM developer along with the modeling and simulation validations by actual testing (e.g., lab, ground, and flight) as appropriate. By standardizing the interface for ARMs, the result is to achieve highly plug and play simulations for multiple end uses that can be easily shared across multiple vendors and platforms.
