Integrated Control Design Techniques

Abstract

A total systems approach methodology and computer-aided design tool for integrated flight control design and evaluation has been formulated. This methodology is a composition of classical system design steps and system performance, reliability/survivability, packaging, and cost evaluation techniques assembled for interactive computer-based execution. The interactive sensor integration program developed under this methodology addresses the sensor requirements of the flight control, guidance and navigation, and weapon delivery functions as directed interactively by the designer and the mission, the system configuration, cost, power, weight, volume constraints, and total system performance. The demonstration program contains performance reliability, size, power, weight, cost data for gyros, accelerometers, radars, seekers, and air data systems in addition to analysis tools for evaluating navigation system accuracy, probability of target acquisition, and probability of kill for selected targets and weapons.
