Aerospace Systems Division

Modeling and Simulation

ASD supports all aspects modeling and simulation requirements. Support includes design, build-up, test and integration, operations and maintenance of the simulation facilities. Models and simulations include:

• Hardware-in-the-loop simulations
• Aircraft-in-the-loop simulations
• Pure software models and simulations

ASD employees support these models and simulations on a variety of platforms and operating system environments. Host platforms include Silicon Graphics, Sun and Windows based workstations. Operating systems supported include IRIX, UNIX, LINUX, and Windows. Models and simulations are built to support both interactive and batch environments. Past simulators and simulations supported included F-15, F-16, F-18, C-17, X-31, X-33, X-43 and Civil Transport.

ASD supports simulator and simulations, including:

• Cockpit design, fabrication, test and integration
• Glass cockpit software development
• Core simulation and software utilities development, test and integration
• Hardware and software interface design, fabrication, test and integration
• System administration, operations and maintenance

ASD has supported engineering, maintenance and operations of NASA's DFRC Research Aircraft Integration Facility, Remotely Augmented Vehicle Laboratory and Flight Loads Laboratory.
