Computer program integrates avionics research in navigation, guidance, controls, and displays with realistic aircraft model. Program gives researchers capability of evaluating avionics area independently from other research areas and thus allows more flexibility in time schedules. Program comprises many independent modules that represent specific hardware onboard actual aircraft.
A computer program was developed to integrate avionics research in navigation, guidance, controls, and displays with a realistic aircraft model. A user oriented program is described that allows a flexible combination of user supplied models to perform research in any avionics area. A preprocessor technique for selecting various models without significantly changing the memory storage is included. Also included are mathematical models for several avionics error models and for the CH-47 helicopter used in this program.
