Abstract

We investigated a means by which to verify the accuracy of the United States Air Force Stability and Control Digital DATCOM software for L-3 Communications. L-3 Communications has expressed the ability to predict the performance of an aircraft, using the DATCOM software set, based on data about the geometry of an aircraft, called the geometry sample. From this sample, L-3 Communications is able to create a simulation model of that particular aircraft for tasks such as the creating of combat training scenarios and the training of pilots for flight. Currently, the software has only formally been tested on large aircrafts. However, L-3 Communications would like to know the viability of the DATCOM software set on small UAVs. Therefore, in this paper, we describe our design of a method to assess the validity of the DATCOM software set.
