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

摘要

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 real-time 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. Running under CSF the demonstration drove the table at an update rate of 1,200 Hz using only 3% of the processing time available for each update. The project successfully showed the effectiveness of CSF in a realtime HWIL environment.
