This paper describes the development and application of a Generic Control Allocation Toolbox developed at NASA Langley Research Center (LGCAT) intended to aid engineers during the preliminary design phase of an aerospace vehicle. The static controllability space in the forms of a Theoretical Attainable Moment Set, Φ, or Theoretical Attainable Force Set, φ is difficult to visualize for modern vehicles with multiple types of redundant control effectors. The objective of LGCAT is to provide system engineers and designers early in the vehicle design phase with quick insights on how control effector parameters such as quantity, sizing, location, orientation, redundancy, etc., affect the overall controllability and other performance metrics. Having such information in hand allows system engineers to make more informed decisions on overall mission objectives such as performance vs. reliability vs. cost, etc. early in a vehicle design phase and reduce the number of iterations necessary in the design and analysis cycles. LGCAT can accept a variety of control effector types including aerodynamic surfaces, rotors, thrust vector control (TVC) engines, and reaction control systems (RCS). LGCAT is MATLAB based, user friendly, and is capable of performing the analysis in the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or script mode. Current add-on features include interfacing with engineering level codes such as Vehicle Sketch Pad (VSP) and generating the corresponding Φ and φ for an arbitrary vehicle design. These capabilities potentially make LGCAT an integral part of the preliminary design phase for any vehicle.
本文描述了美国宇航局兰利研究中心(LGCAT)开发的通用控制分配工具箱的开发和应用,旨在帮助工程师在航天飞行器的初步设计阶段。对于具有多种冗余控制效应器的现代车辆,以理论可得力矩集Φ或理论可得力集Φ形式的静态可控性空间难以可视化。LGCAT的目标是为系统工程师和设计人员在车辆设计阶段早期提供快速洞察,了解控制效应器参数(如数量、尺寸、位置、方向、冗余等)如何影响整体可控性和其他性能指标。有了这样的信息,系统工程师就可以在飞行器设计阶段的早期就整体任务目标(如性能、可靠性、成本等)做出更明智的决策,并减少设计和分析周期中必要的迭代次数。LGCAT可以接受各种控制效应器类型,包括气动表面、转子、推力矢量控制(TVC)发动机和反应控制系统(RCS)。LGCAT基于MATLAB,用户友好,能够在图形用户界面(GUI)或脚本模式下执行分析。当前的附加功能包括与工程级代码(如Vehicle Sketch Pad (VSP))的接口,并为任意车辆设计生成相应的Φ和Φ。这些能力可能使LGCAT成为任何车辆初步设计阶段不可或缺的一部分。

One of the major problems faced by the growth of air traffic in the last decade is the limited capacity of the runway especially during low visibility procedures (LVP) due to fog and bad weather. To solve this issue, the project “Resilient Synthetic Vision for Advanced Control Tower Air Navigation Service Provision” (RETINA) project, a two-years exploratory research project, under SESAR2020 program, proposes to use new Synthetic Vision (SV) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies for the tower controllers to allow them to conduct safe operations under any Meteorological Conditions while maintaining a high runway throughput, equal to good visibility. In this paper we introduce the Ecological Interface Design (EID) as a methodology to investigate the potential and applicability of SV tools and Virtual/Augmented Reality (V/AR) display techniques for the Air Traffic Control (ATC) service provision by the airport control tower. We explain how the EID framework can be used in RETINA, we experiment the framework on a suitable airport and we provide the EID results comparing normal and LVP conditions with operations using RETINA technologies.
