A submarine maneuvering system demonstration based on the NISTreal-time control system reference model

摘要

The Robot Systems Division (RSD) at the National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIST) has developed a generic reference modelarchitecture, known as the Real-time Control System (RCS). Theapplication of RCS to the automation of submarine operations isdemonstrated which requires that an enormous amount of intelligence bebuilt into its control system. A summary of the reference model isgiven, followed by a description of the implementation process. The longterm goal is to establish a generic development methodology forintelligent control systems
