Abstract

An Aerospace vehicle is developed as a result of integration of many subsystems with each subsystem marked to perform a particular function. The heart of the Aerospace vehicle is the control and guidance computer known as On-board computer. The rate gyroscopes which sense the aerospace vehicle rates and the accelerometers which sense accelerations are embedded in sensor system package. The Actuation system of the aerospace vehicle helps in steering the vehicle to the required direction. The Aerospace vehicle’s guidance algorithm calculates the correction required to move the vehicle to the intended trajectory. This error is converted into control deflection commands by the Autopilot. These deflection commands are given to the hardware actuation system so that the vehicle course is changed as per design. In this paper simulation of actuator model and Hardware-In-Loop-Simulation (HILS) of hardware actuation system is presented.
