Many in need of solutions to overcome complexities in testing for ground support, propulsion, avionics, payload systems, and bus infrastructure also need cost-efficient ways to verify each of these systems. Solutions to this challenge exist thanks to modern technology, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation, modular solutions for flexibility and scalability, and specific fault insertion techniques, among others. This 60-minute webinar explores tools and processes for creating reliable tests without exceeding capital constraints.
Key topics include:
- How HIL simulation can replicate real-world ground support and propulsion systems scenarios
- How transducer simulation (LVDT, RVDT, resolver) in propulsion and flight control supports high-accuracy displacement and positioning testing
- Ways to utilize sensor simulation for control system testing, including thermistors, thermocouples, and RTDs
- Modular switching strategies to simplify mixed-signal, multi-protocol avionics interfaces
- Techniques to streamline fault insertion for verifying mission-critical safety protocols in payload and bus infrastructure.
An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
