Pilot's control actions during maneuvering support system software and its implementation in flight simulator for pilot's tactical skills training

There are considered in present paper the general aspects of mathematical foundation of onboard pilot's control actions during maneuvering support system (PCASS) software and its implementation in tactical flight simulator for pilot's control actions during maneuvering skills training via shortcut-time spatial trajectories optimization and their visualization in the view of "road-in-the-sky" image for further tracking in direct with foresee regime or (semi) automatic mode. There are disclosed two specially designed for this purpose "fast" modifications of direct method of variational tasks solution-the first (for short-term trajectories with strong constrains on control functions) based on 5/sup th/-7/sup th/ power polynomials optimal trajectory approximation, the second (for long-term flight on a route trajectories) based on spline approximation. For long-distance guidance on the moveable object it's utilized several-steps approach based on mentioned 5/sup th/-7/sup th/ power polynomials optimization. Paper is attended with examples of designed software operation on seminatural advanced simulator of high maneuverable airplane with investigation prototype of PCASS.
