Real-Time Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing with Common Simulation Framework

The Common Simulation Framework CSF facilitates live, virtual, and constructive LVC simulation of a complete missile deployment system. It includes some support for real-time operation but not enough to allow hardware-in-the-loop HWIL testing. This project added realtime monitoring capabilities to CSF and demonstrated its use for a HWIL simulation. The demonstration involved driving a motion simulator table at the Redstone Technical Test Center in Huntsville, AL. The project successfully showed the effectiveness of CSF in a real-time HWIL environment.
