Analysis of Controller/System Dynamics for a Remotely Piloted Vehicle Strike Mission

Abstract

The development of an analytical model for the remote human controller/vehicle dynamics during the critical phases of a remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) strike mission is a prerequisite for the quantitative understanding and evaluation of the overall mission effectiveness. The purpose of this report is to develop such a modeling approach and demonstrate its usefulness as an effective tool in the design of a baseline RPV strike mission. Analysis of the controller/vehicle dynamics is used to isolate the principal causes of degradations in the overall weapon system effectiveness. Insight gained from these analyses should prove extremely valuable in selecting a baseline configuration including specific recommendations for the choice of displays, the vehicle augmentation, and the overall RPV strike mission flight profile.
