The significance of this research and development lies in the application of the developed simulation tools and techniques to the evaluation of potential Multifunction Inertial Reference Assembly (MIRA) sensor systems. These systems use a minimum number of inertial sensors to provide the inertial-reference information necessary to meet the aircraft requirements for weapon delivery, flight control, navigation, fire control, and flight safety. This contract considers development of real-time operation, and the addition of a navigation and attitude error-propagation algorithm. Other models added to the simulation are two-degree-of-freedom gyros, an air-data system, an autopilot, and a transport vehicle. Parametric studies and evaluations of potential MIRA configurations were conducted to support the definition of the long-term MIRA requirements, and to provide an independent evaluation of candidate configurations. The philosophy and details of a test and development plan, specifically geared to MIRA systems, are also discussed.
