6 DoF Aircraft Simulation Model Capable of Handling Maneuver Events (WIP)

Abstract

This paper proposes an aircraft model to simulate different tactical maneuvers by handling various maneuver events in a hybrid model to develop tactic and analyze their effectiveness. The proposed model consists of a 6 degrees of freedom (DoF) model to describe high-fidelity aircraft's movement and a pilot model to effectively control the movement model. The pilot model, which includes a human factor (i.e., skills of pilot), a flight manual, and stabilizers, allows the proposed model to be more practical and effective. Through integrating a simple discrete event model to describe a tactical evasion maneuver of F-16 fighter, this paper shows the proposed model can be applied effectively in the analysis of tactics. © 2016 Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SCS).
