Integration of GENESIS in a MITL/HITL simulation environment

Abstract

This paper discusses the use of GENeral Environment for the Simulation of Integrated Systems (GENESIS) in the modeling and 6 DOF simulation of aerospace vehicles. While the emphasis is on the modeling and simulation of the VISTA/F-16, GENESIS simulations of the innovative control effectors (ICE) tailless aircraft configuration, and a hypervelocity vehicle configuration are also discussed. The approach to the recent integration of GENESIS and the GENESIS-based non-realtime VISTA/F-16 simulation into the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate's Integrated Demonstrations and Applications Laboratory (IDAL) man-in-the-loop/hardware-in-the-loop (MITL/HITL) simulation facility's software executive is also described.
