RMS in a nutshell

1
RMS in a nutshell

• Specifications qualifications
• 02-01-2005

2
RMS procedural outline

• Inform missile of ready state
• Feed missile coordinates of target and position
• Send fire go signal
• Receive error control signals via serial
• end

3
Specifics

• RMS sends 1 if ready for system (missile)
  initialization
• Altera waits for 1 state
• Missile polls RMS for current coordinates (write
  get_next value to serial port, read serial port)

4
Next Steps

• Compiled NIOS Core
• CPU ready to go
• Needs to be loaded to FPGA
• Drawing preliminary circuit diagrams in MultiSim
• Waiting for remaining elements before finalizing
• Create equations for physical modeling
• Pending discussion with professor

Simulation Achievements

• Calculated the external forces acting on the
  missile for a given dynamic and environmental
  state
• Calculated new dynamic state of missile
• Determined forces necessary to guide missile to
  given target based on guidance algorithm
• Accurately guided missile to target from any
  reasonable input of initial missile position and
  orientation and target position

9
Simulation Non-Achievements

• Guidance algorithm did not factor in desired
  orientation of missile at point it reaches target
  
• Lookup tables came from aerodynamic data provided
  by AMCOM, not data from DATCOM
• Necessary guidance forces were merely calculated
  and applied without determining the actuation
  necessary to achieve those forces

TELECON WITH AMCOM

• Scheduling a meeting in Huntsville for sometime
  next week
• Will present our current designs with
  documentation to support our decisions
• Allowed alteration to the warhead
