Modular Weapon System Simulation Software Design and Operation Requirements.

Abstract

The program uses a simplified three-degree-of-freedom trajectory representation, and is comprised of modular elements, whose actual breakdown scheme is based on both independent functional operation and susceptibility to future change. The use of state-of-the-art structured programming techniques has enabled this design method to be effectively executed. Additionally, a load time option resolution utility has been developed and implemented, which results in greater execution efficiency and improved utilization of computer memory resources. This feature has been interfaced with a general purpose input processor software package, resulting in simplified user input which can conveniently undergo slight alterations during a multiple flight run. The complete system is under the jurisdiction of an automated control card procedure facility, which controls execution of all portions of the model, and reduces the number of control cards which must be prepared by the user to a minimum.
