ABSTRACT:
A method and device are provided for displaying the effect of control action in real time by simultaneously applying the control action both to the system to be controlled and a computer model of the system. The effect of the control action on the model is displayed to the operator in a manner which dynamically decouples the display to the operator in a manner which dynamically decouples the display from the actual system's response over some suitable frequency range, thereby enhancing the stability and performance of the control system's operation. The method and device are described in conjunction with a preferred embodiment of an aircraft gun fire control system and variation of that system. A computer model or pseudo aircraft, termed a command aircraft, is programmed into a computer carried by an actual aircraft. In addition to providing conventional control information to the actual aircraft, the control actions of the pilot "fly" the command aircraft. Steering information provided to the pilot by means of display devices is referenced to the command aircraft rather than to the actual aircraft. This isolates the pilot from destabilizing time delays present in the actual aircraft, as well as from environmental disturbances such as wind gusts. The actual aircraft and the command aircraft are brought into coincidence, for example, either by slowly reorienting the command aircraft without degrading the advantages of command-aircraft-referenced displays during dynamic steering situations or by aerodynamic control action through the flight control system.
