Join MathWorks and leading Defence and Aerospace companies at this upcoming seminar to learn industry trends and best practices on aerospace and defence innovation.
In the fast-paced aerospace and defence industry, innovation is a critical driver of success. As companies strive to push the boundaries of technology, staying informed about the latest trends and best practices becomes essential.
In this seminar from Mathworks, learn from peers and hear about innovation in the aerospace and defence industry, including:
- A simulation-based workflow to design gyro-stabilised gimbals using flight dynamics and paths to observe performance, find error budgets from sensor inaccuracies, and validate your algorithm.
- An overview of Aero-Servo-Elastic Analysis capabilities for next-generation aircraft.
- An integrated development workflow for autonomous UAS that spans from early system design and simulation to deployment and test.
The keynote session will provide a comprehensive look at BAE Systems' two-decade journey with MATLAB, Simulink, and associated toolsets. BAE will explore how these tools have been integral to advancing their engineering and development processes, touching on key milestones and innovations along the way. From leveraging MATLAB and Simulink for system design and simulation to their experiences with toolboxes and specialised tools like Polyspace, they’ll share insights into how these platforms have evolved and adapted to meet the demands of complex aerospace and defence projects. This presentation will offer both a historical perspective and a forward-looking view on how these technologies continue to shape BAE’s approach to engineering excellence.
Next, Jordan Watkins from AVT will cover mastering gyro-stabilized gimbals using a simulation-based workflow. This will focus on a mode called ‘Geolock’ where the gimbal stays pointing at a position in the world. It will then detail how MATLAB integrates into the workflow to solve problems like simulating flight dynamics/paths to observe geolock, finding geolock error budgets from sensor inaccuracies and mounting tolerances, and how the open-source library through MATLAB has helped validate algorithms.
Dr. Vincenzo Muscarello of the Sir Lawrence Wackett Defence and Aerospace Centre will introduce tools to investigate the aero-servo-elastic stability of next-generation aircraft, including fixed- and rotary-wing technologies. He will explore how the methodology developed allows him to investigate the dynamics of electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles, characterised by distributed electric propeller systems, applicable to the context of Urban Air Mobility (UAM).
After a break, Ben Goodman from UMS and Damian Ginevra from SYPAQ will provide an overview of real-time motion cueing at the heart of an immersive, high-fidelity driver training simulator. The 6DOF robot motion platform provides a large and unique range of motion to the RDS simulator. Simulink enables UMS to implement and optimise its motion cueing algorithm, specifically developed for the RDS, that delivers a dynamic, immersive and realistic driver experience. Based upon concepts and mathematical models first developed by NASA, the algorithm considers the function of the human vestibular system to create simulator motion that mimics sensations generated in the actual vehicle.
Lastly, Dr Muhammad Ali from MathWorks will showcase integrated development workflows for autonomous unmanned aerial systems (UAS) applications, which span from early system design and simulation to deployment and test before we enjoy lunch and the opportunity to network.
The seminar will take place at W Melbourne on 17 October. To learn more about the event and register, please click here.
