Air Vehicle Technology Integration Program (AVTIP) Delivery Order 0015: Open Control Platform (OCP) Software Enabled Control (SEC) Hardware in the Loop Simulation - OCP Hardware Integration

摘要

Boeing Phantom Works collaborated with Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) researchers at the Aerospace Vehicles Technology Assessment and Simulation (AVTAS) Laboratory and with Northrop Grumman to conduct 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, developed by Boeing, 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 was a series of simulation experiments with increasing complexity.
