The static controllability space in the forms of a Theoretical Attainable Moment Set, Φ, or Theoretical Attainable Force Set, φ is difficult to visualize for modern vehicles with multiple types of redundant control effectors. The objective of LGCAT is to provide system engineers and designers early in the vehicle design phase with quick insights on how control effector parameters such as quantity, sizing, location, orientation, redundancy, etc., affect the overall controllability and other performance metrics. Having such information in hand allows system engineers to make more informed decisions on overall mission objectives such as performance vs. reliability vs. cost, etc. early in a vehicle design phase and reduce the number of iterations necessary in the design and analysis cycles. LGCAT can accept a variety of control effector types including aerodynamic surfaces, rotors, thrust vector control (TVC) engines, and reaction control systems (RCS). LGCAT is MATLAB based, user friendly, and is capable of performing the analysis in the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or script mode. Current add-on features include interfacing with engineering level codes such as Vehicle Sketch Pad (VSP) and generating the corresponding Φ and φ for an arbitrary vehicle design. These capabilities potentially make LGCAT an integral part of the preliminary design phase for any vehicle.","PeriodicalId":326346,"journal":{"name":"2018 Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114068466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this issue, the project “Resilient Synthetic Vision for Advanced Control Tower Air Navigation Service Provision” (RETINA) project, a two-years exploratory research project, under SESAR2020 program, proposes to use new Synthetic Vision (SV) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies for the tower controllers to allow them to conduct safe operations under any Meteorological Conditions while maintaining a high runway throughput, equal to good visibility. In this paper we introduce the Ecological Interface Design (EID) as a methodology to investigate the potential and applicability of SV tools and Virtual/Augmented Reality (V/AR) display techniques for the Air Traffic Control (ATC) service provision by the airport control tower. We explain how the EID framework can be used in RETINA, we experiment the framework on a suitable airport and we provide the EID results comparing normal and LVP conditions with operations using RETINA technologies.","PeriodicalId":326346,"journal":{"name":"2018 Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference","volume":"326 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115872111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the simulation community, the Dryden turbulence spectra is a popular choice for modeling the linear turbulent gusts because its rational form is efficiently reproduced by passing white noise through linear filters. The MIL-F-8785 gust gradients similarly use additional linear filters to model the gradient of the turbulent gust over the wing, and it represents the gust gradients as perturbations to the air-relative rotational rates. The Cockpit Motion Facility at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) models continuous random turbulence using the Dryden one-dimensional spectra and MIL-F-8785 gust gradient. The facility recently reviewed and updated its verification of these models as part of an initiative to improve motion cueing under turbulence. This exercise introduced improved methods for verifying the turbulence models and led to rediscovery of model assumptions that informed improvements to implementation.","PeriodicalId":326346,"journal":{"name":"2018 Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126500117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
