Using an advanced continuous simulation language to analyze the avionics situational awareness trainer's F-16A flight equations
Abstract
This paper describes the development and utilization of an Advanced Continuous Simulation Language (ACSL) model used for non real-time analyses of F-16A flight equations that are used in the Avionics Situational Awareness Trainer (ASAT). The ASAT is a beyond visual range, man-in-the-loop F-16A light simulator used primarily in the training of pilots for target acquisition and engagement scenarios.· The ACSL model is validated by comparison of time history plots in the pitch and roll axes to that of actual ASA T data captured during flight maneuvers. The ACSL model is then analyzed using three discrete integration methods: rectangular, trapezoidal, and Adams-Bashforth second order. Finally, the ACSL model is used to analyze the F-16A roll loop and make recommendations for improvement based on actual F-16A pilots assessment of ASAT roll performance.
