Guidance, Navigation and Control. Digital Emulation Technology Laboratory. Volume 1. Task 1: Digital Emulation Technology Laboratory
Abstract:
This report addresses the objectives, requirements, and schedule of the Digital Emulation Technology Laboratory DETL. There are two main hardware systems the Parallel Function Processor PFP and the Seeker Scene Emulator SSE. Each of these systems is a complex parallel processor, and they are designed to function together as an emulation facility for kinetic energy weapons systems. Software development is also an active area of research, both at the system level compilers, loaders, graphics development and at the application level simulation and emulation studies. The principal objectives of DETL are as follows Provide facilities for 6-DOF KEW emulation Provide real-time capability in excess of 2000 Hz Provide real-time emulation of IR FPA seekers Test and verify GNC software and hardware systems and Educate new PFP users and provide technical support. jhd
