To realize the flight/propulsion integrated control technology for advanced short takeoff and vertical landing(ASTOVL), large amount of theory research and their simulation computation must be done to design the optimal control law. The flight space states of this kind of aircraft, depending on the syncretic control technology of aerodynamics rudder and thrust vector, are described in the entire quantity non-linear equation, and six-degree- of-freedom mathematical model of the aircraft dynamics is established.

At last, based on the background of some type of STOVL aircraft, the flight digital emluator is studied and developed under the environment of MATLAB5.2/Simulink, and the designing ideas and program framework on the simulation software are introduced. As a result, the R&D flight digital emluator is correctly validated by the digital simulation.

XIONG Wei, HE You

In one centralized multi-radar tracking system, there are always different radars, which may have different observation-dimension. In order to correctly fusion all data of radars, the system must take some measures to make suer that all data have uniform dimension. At present, reducing dimension is often used to deal with the problem. Because of the loss of the height information of target in the process of reducing dimension, the system may produce some dynamic error. If the pitching angle of target is relatively large, the tracking precise of the system must be reduced. In this paper, one increasing dimension method is introduced, which can be used to remedy the defect of reducing dimension method. At last, a Monte Carlo simulation is used to analyze the tracking precision of the two methods.
