Multidisciplinary Analysis and Control of High Performance Air Vehicles

Abstract

Funds provided through the DoD Infrastructure Support for HBCU/MI grant awarded to California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA) by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFSOR) Dynamic Systems and Control on August 2001 were used for development of significant infrastructure of research, competency and capabilities in multidisciplinary modeling and control design of high-performance air vehicles. The investigators established a state-of-the-art research facility at CSULA-the Multidisciplinary Flight Dynamic and Control Laboratory (MFDCLab, www.calstatela.edu/centers/mfdclab) where novel methodologies and tools for accurate modeling, simulation, and control system design for high-performance air vehicles were developed. The accomplishments of this project include: The Rapid Conceptual Design Testbed. Nonlinear Adaptive Flight Control Laws. Aeroservoelasticity Hypersonic Vehicles. Human Resource Development. Integration of Research into Curriculum. Collaboration and Synergies. Leveraging the Grant.
