High Speed Function Generation for Research and Project Support.

Abstract

Since 1972, the US Army Missile Research and Development Command (MIRADCOM) has maintained and operated a real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) homing missile simulation at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Because of the need for a detailed, accurate simulation and to support the US Army Modular Missile research program and other advanced missile research, a decision was made to upgrade the HWIL simulation by adding a special purpose digital processor. The processor selected was the Applied Dynamics, Inc., AD 10. This report described the work performed to program the AD 10 and modify the existing simulation for the Homing and Laser Simulation Facility (HALS). (Author)
