White Paper: Closed-Loop GN&C Validation Before Flight Testing
Why deterministic hardware-in-the-loop validation is essential for modern missile guidance systems.
Software-only simulation cannot fully expose timing errors, control instability, or real-world sensor effects in GN&C systems. This white paper explains why closed-loop, deterministic HIL environments are required to validate true system behavior—and how Missile TestBench Level 3 enables earlier, more reliable GN&C validation.
What You’ll Learn
- Why non-deterministic timing masks GN&C instability
- How closed-loop HIL exposes issues software simulation misses
- The impact of real-time synchronization and sensor latency
- How early validation reduces late-stage cost and schedule risk
