Results of the test campaigns

The FASTER block contains the same Simulink model used to built the xPC Target

real time operating system which works directly in the host machine as detailed in Section

6.5. Finally, the same EPIA EN15000 is used to run the Dynaworlds tunnel in the sky

guidance interface using the UDP Ethernet connection provided by the CIL workstation.

This setup has been very useful during the FASTER software development and to train

the pilot before each flight test campaign, because reproduces the same information that

will be given during the flight. Furthermore, it is the fastest way to test visual interface

modifications or to evaluate new trajectories.

The HIL setup has been used instead, to evaluate in the real world the performance of

the FASTER EM hardware-software combination using only synthetic data coming from

the Garmin 18x 5Hz and Crossbow NAV420 emulators.
