摘要:
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) researchers at the Aerospace Vehicle Technology Assessment and Simulation (AVTAS) Laboratory are currently conducting the Open Control Platform (OCP) Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) project sponsored by the DARPA Software Enabled Control (SEC) Program. The purpose of this project is to develop the capability to be an OCP test-bed and to evaluate the OCP controls and simulation environment for a specific test case. The OCP provides an open, middleware-enabled software framework and development platform for developers of distributed and embedded software applications. The middleware isolates the programmer from the details of the operating system and provides a mechanism for communication with other OCP software components. A Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) was chosen as a representative flight controls application to exercise OCP. The programmatic approach taken by the OCP-HITL project is a series of simulation experiments with increasing complexity.
