PSC implementation and integration
Hardware and software design of the performance seeking control (PSC) for the NASA F-15 research aircraft are described. The hardware architecture, vehicle management system computer (VMSC), pilot interface, and PSC mode selection are discussed. The PSC software is distributed among the VMSC, central computer, digital electronic engine controls (DEEC's), and electronic air inlet controllers (EAIC's). The major PSC modules, VMSC logic, VMSC channel C memory requirements, VMSC channel C timing, and navigation control indicator (NCI) variables and where they are located are presented.
