Abstract

A system is presented for rapid creation and deployment of software interfaces using MATLAB Simulink. The system uses a set of modeling standards to allow software interfaces such as interface control documents (ICD’s), wrappers, and memory structures to be automatically generated using MATLAB scripts. This allows for a Simulink simulation with multiple models, including flight control components, to be coded and deployed rapidly to a real-time simulation environment. The same software for the flight control components can then be executed in an embedded application. A common source for interface and software definition minimizes the possibility of mismatches between software interfaces. Additional scripts are used to check Simulink models and identify possible sources of coding errors. This system was used to create a real-time simulation and flight control software in approximately one year for an experimental hybrid airship that was flight tested in early 2006. The system can easily be expanded or modified to meet specific requirements or to take advantage of additional and future MATLAB Simulink features.
