NPSNET: Real-Time 3D Ground-Based Vehicle Dynamics

Abstract

The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) has been developing real-time 3D visual simulators on inexpensive commercially available graphics workstations. The effort to develop a 3D visual simulation system, NPSNET, is an exploration and experimentation virtual worlds. Virtual world system have many goals including military training. This work is part of NPSNET. The current NPSNET system is kinematically based. The objectives of this work are motion dynamics and behavioral motion control for autonomous vehicles. Motion control is difficult when using dynamics due to the internal and external forces, however it enhances the realism as well as motion accuracy. We develop motion dynamics and behavioral control for ground-based vehicles. Motion dynamics and behavioral motion are an essential part of NPSNET for realistic battlefield simulation.
