The objective of this work was to determine, through a frequency analysis approach, an appropriate range of values for the parameters which could be used to provide for an effective auto-pilot coupler transfer function. The power spectral density function for random data, describing the general frequency composition of the data in terms of the density of its mean square value was used in this analysis. Spectral plots of data generated ...
The feasibility of using an adaptive linear mathematical model to represent a human operator subjected to the task of controlling an attacking fighter aircraft was investigated. The ability of the model to perform pursuit tracking tasks subject to random evader tactics was analyzed by the implementation of the model into a six-degree-of-freedom digital fire control simulation. For the model to approach reality in every flight regime, an adaptive procedure was ...
A six degree of freedom air to ground missile simulation is developed utilizing a digital simulation language. The simulation incorporates all aerodynamic coefficients and missile characteristics to completely describe missile performance over various flight regimes. Development of the simulation is done in modular form wherever possible to increase the flexibility and to cause a more general simulation. A typical flight regime is given using data for a particular missile and ...
