IMI
Analysis
and Simulation Tools
IMI
has extensive array of unique design and analysis tools to support the
design process of a wide range of dynamic systems including spacecraft,
launch vehicles, aircraft and missile systems.
Satellite
and Spacecraft Dynamic Simulations
Simulates
on-orbit 6 DOF dynamic spacecraft operations with on-screen graphical
display of
spacecraft orientation along with sensor and actuator
performance status data. Excellent
tool for independent verification and validation (IV&V) of spacecraft
ADACS.
Star
Tracker/Gyro and GPS Kalman Filters
Allows
designers to assess Kalman filter performance subject to system variations
during design process (e.g., Star/GPS drop-outs, sensor noise
uncertainties, varying process noises, etc.)
Generic
6 DOF Launch Vehicle Dynamics
Allows
designers to evaluate launch vehicle GN&C subsystem performance on
various trajectories and weather. The
simulation environment can be easily modified to include the aerodynamic,
structural, staging, and propulsion system characteristics of various
vehicles. PC based POST 3D,
POST 6D trajectory analysis programs and Missile DatCom aerodynamics
analysis program.
IMI
has extensive experience with state of the art programming languages such
as FORTRAN, C++, Basic, and Pascal. In
addition, IMI has extensively used various software programs for
simulation and analysis as MATLAB, SIMULINK, MATHCAD, and Mathematica.
IMI
applies advanced technology to the real world
IMI
staff have successfully used stare-of-the-art technologies to provide
unique solutions to the most challenging system integration and control
problems. These applications
include Launch Vehicle GN&C systems, spacecraft attitude determination
and control systems (ADACS), large space structure controls,
control/structure interaction (CSI), robotics, and intelligent control
systems. |
