Advanced FIREFLY Assessment Generalized Mechanization Requirements Report

Abstract

The requirements for the design of the Generalized Mechanization of the FIREFLY concept of Integrated Fire and Flight Control to be implemented in a digital simulation has been completed. This generalized mechanization consists of a set of equations, algorithms, and control laws capable of being programmed into an airborne digital computer which can be specialized to perform successfully in a variety of tactical aircraft with differing avionics sensors, fire control algorithms, control laws, flight control systems, and weapon delivery modes. The document first addresses the scope of the requirements analysis followed by a description of the analysis done in deriving the requirements of the generalized mechanization. Finally, the requirements are summarized in a section discussing them explicitly in relation to their place in the overall fire control system. A discussion of the work done on the FIREFLY II familiarization and initial analysis of two of the potential advanced concepts for evaluation is contained in the appendices.
