“…However, each suffers from its own drawbacks, which are reliability, price, weight, and size. Pavic et al [5] designed a new type of flight simulator for manual commands to lineof-sight guided missile. The simulator enables the operator to spot and track both the target and the missile on the monitor display and generates the steering commands by joystick in order to minimize the difference between the target and the missile line-of-sight.…”

This paper presents a novel design of a real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) missile TV guidance system simulation platform, which consists of a development computer, a target computer, a turntable, a control cabin, and a joystick. The guidance system simulation model is created on the development computer by Simulink® and then downloaded to the target computer. Afterwards, Simulink Real-Time™ runs the model in real-time. Meanwhile, the target computer uploads the real-time simulation data back to the development computer. The hardware in the simulation loop is TV camera, encoders, control cabin, servomotors, and target simulator. In terms of hardware and software, the system has been simplified compared with the existing works. The volume of the turntable integrating the target simulator and the seeker simulator is about 0.036 cubic meters compared to the original 8 cubic meters, so it has a compact structure. The platform can perform the closed-loop control, so the simulation has high precision. Taking the TV guidance simulation as an example, in the case of target maneuvering, the final miss distance of the TV guidance missile is 0.11812 m, while the miss distance of the original system is 13 m. The trajectories obtained from the HIL and mathematical simulations substantially coincide. So the simulation results show that the proposed HIL simulation platform is effective.

“…For each simulation, users can view the output response in the form of 3‐D animations, and can run time plots, while the simulation system can achieve better teaching effects if there is hardware in the simulation loop. Pavic et al designed a new type of flight simulator for manual commands to line‐of‐sight guided missile. The simulator enables the operator to spot and track both the target and the missile on the monitor display, and generates the steering commands by joystick in order to minimize the difference between the target and the missile line of sight.…”

This paper presents a hardware‐in‐the‐loop (HIL) simulator, named HIL‐GSS, which aims to help the students of aerospace engineering learn control and missile guidance theories effectively by using interactive instrumentation. Electromechanical components and interactive panels are illustrated. Two case‐based studies are presented to show the advantages that HIL‐GSS offers to engineering education. Steady‐state tracking errors of the PID controller based on the HIL‐GSS are around zero. The final miss distance in the real‐time HIL TV guidance engagement simulation is 0.2376 m. Those results show the reliability of the proposed HIL simulator. In addition, the students' average response to survey questions is 4.22 (1–5 grade scale), which indicates that students strongly agree or agree that HIL‐GSS is an effective educational tool.
