Real Time Simulation and Control of 3000 Ton Surface Effect Ship.

Abstract

A real time, man controlled simulator exhibiting the characteristics of a 3000 Ton Surface Effect Ship (3K-SES) was developed using a set of simplified 5 degree of freedom equations of motion. A software program was developed to compute and present to the SES pilot on a real time graphics output alpha-numeric-perspective visual cues pertaining to the vehicle states. Man generated control responses during 3K-SES accidental effector nozzle failure tests and the requirement for computer assist control systems during the recovery phase of such failures was examined.
