Model-based design strategies for real-time hardware-in-the-loop rocket system simulations
The Navigation, Guidance, and Control (NGC) Department at Sandia National Laboratories has been developing model-based simulations of rocket systems for preliminary studies, Monte Carlo analysis, and real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulations for flight code verification and validation purposes. Over the years we have developed extensive experience developing model-in-the-loop, software-in-the-loop, and real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulations for rocket systems. This paper describes some strategies the NGC Department has taken to successfully implement model-based simulations for flight test programs. © 2012 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.
