Integration of the CASTLE Simulation Executive With Simulink

Abstract

The Controls Analysis and Simulation Test Loop Environment (CASTLE) is a Navy in-house developed aircraft simulation executive application that has been in use at the Manned Flight Simulator (MFS) facility in Patuxent River, Maryland and elsewhere for over 15 years. In addition to supporting real-time hi-fidelity pilot-in-the-loop simulations in the MFS facility, CASTLE also includes integrated tools used for development and analysis of airframe simulations on various platforms. Much of the work with CASTLE includes exchanging and analyzing data with Matlab and Simulink. In support of recent flight controls projects at Patuxent River, there was a requirement to integrate Matlab-Simulink models with the CASTLE simulation. This led to the development of a new capability that enables a Simulink model to be modified and executed continuously with the CASTLE simulation, without having to exit and restart. The only interaction with CASTLE required by the user is to launch the specific airframe executable desired.
