Martin-Marietta Aerospace Simulation & Test Laboratory
Describes Martin-Marietta's Simulation & Test Laboratory (STL) Man-in-the-Loop Simulation System (MLUS), which uses a hybrid computer arrangement of three Sigma 5 digital computers and six EAI 231-RV analog computers to simulate the AAH (YAH-64), A-10, and F-16 aircraft. The system features an 80x40-foot terrain model scaled at 225:1 (helicopter) and 1200:1 (fixed-wing), a 6-DOF motion base with 18,000 lb payload capacity, and optical probe/TV systems for real-time closed-loop 6-degree-of-freedom simulation of air-to-surface weapon delivery missions.
