CHAPTER 3 – VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION3.1 Areas <strong>of</strong> <strong>Identification</strong>As mentioned in Chapter 2, the comprehensive identification <strong>of</strong> these vehiclesrequires modeling and testing <strong>of</strong> the bare-airframe dynamics as well as all <strong>of</strong> the systemsand components onboard which directly affect the flight characteristics <strong>of</strong> the vehicle.Figure 1.11 <strong>of</strong> Chapter 1 illustrates the areas <strong>of</strong> identification. The tools and techniquesoutlined in Chapter 2 will be applied to the bare-airframe <strong>of</strong> the vehicles with conclusionsbeing drawn for scaling and correlation. COTS actuators will then be analyzed for theredynamics and nonlinearities. Finally, all <strong>of</strong> the sensors and telemetry equipment used inobservation for the control system will be analyzed and modeled.- 16 -
