Computer Simulation of RPV Flight Characteristics
Report Number: AMRL TR 73-119
Author(s): Cleveland, Dixon, Derrick, Milford R., Barron, Roger L.
Corporate Author(s): Adaptonics, Inc.
Laboratory: Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories
Corporate Report Number: 676-FTR
Date of Publication: 1974-03
Pages: 84
Contract: F33615-73-C-4055
DoD Project: 7233 - Biological Information Handling Systems and Their Functional Analogs
DoD Task: 723304 - Neural Networks
Identifier: AD0781079
Abstract:
The report presents a set of equations of motion for remotely piloted vehicles. The equations are written in a form suitable for a real-time digital computer simulation. The simulation is intended to provide a test bed for evaluating alternative RPV control systems. A FORTRAN program for use on a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-12 Computer is presented. Airframe parameter values are given for several flight conditions of an air-to-ground RPV, an air-to-air RPV and, a reconnaissance/EW RPV.
