Abstract:

To solve the problems of high cost and poor repeatability of the range test of the detonation control function of networked munitions, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation test method for the dynamic detonation control of networked munitions based on QualNet is proposed. A hardware-in-the-loop interface between the real network and the simulation network is designed. Based on the interface, the real-time data interaction between the physical equipment and the networked munitions simulation model is realized. Then, a dynamic monitoring software of the safety system is developed. Through the software, the command center can control and monitor the status of the munitions node. At the same time, in order to ensure the reliable and real-time transmission of control command and other types of messages, an application layer communication protocol between the monitoring software and the safe detonation control module is defined. The remote arming and detonation control function of the networked munitions as well as the time delay of the hard-in-the-loop interface are tested. The results show that the proposed method is feasible and effective, which has good real-time performance.

Key words: networked munitions, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, data interaction interface, communication protocol
