Abstract:

In order to overcome the problems existing in the traditional design method of micro air vehicles ( MAVs) ,such as long period,high cost and low efficiency,a design environment of virtual prototype of the flight control system ( FCS-VP) is constructed. In this environment,the FCS-VP of a MAV, which is in a hybrid three-layer structure consisting of a task-scheduling layer,an action-planning layer and a basic regulation layer,is designed with SysML and Simulink. Simulation results demonstrate that the designed FCS-VP well simulates the FCS of MAV in terms of structure,f unction, behavior and performance,supports the further model-driven development of flight control software and improves the efficiency of MAV design.

Key words: micro air vehicle, flight control system, virtual prototype, SysML, model-driven development
