Digital weapon simulator.

摘要

For testing air weapon systems which may be still at the design stage and the interaction of such systems with the launch aircraft, there is proposed a digital computer system in which there is implemented a missile to aircraft pylon interface, i.e. the drivers and such for say the MID-STE-1760 or 'Stanag' interface and a weapon simulator coupled to the interface. The weapon simulator is preferably modular so that parts of it may be inhibited and replaced by the appropriate real hardware items making up the eventual weapon as and when these items are prototyped. The aircraft itself would be real or it could be simulated by an aircraft avionics systems rig.
