Abstract

In order to quicken the process of designing the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight control system, this paper develops a hardware-in-the-loop Simulation (HILS) system of UAV flight control to complete the whole process of simulation from modeling to real-time code generating. Firstly, nonlinear six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) UAV model, environment model and sensor simulation model are built in the Matlab/Simulink environment. Then, the HILS system of UAV flight control system model based on dSPACE is built using the Real-Time Interface (RTI), and generates the C code with Real-Time Workshop (RTW). Secondly, the platform manager ControlDesk provided by dSPACE is used to develop the software of simulation control and data view. Finally, the software of path display and flight visual are developed using the C Interface Library (CLib). The result of the software design and test UAV dynamic model shows that the degree of automatization for developing the HILS system is increased and the cost and time used is decreased greatly.
