A TEACHING CONTROL TO THE MANAGERS

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the use of Control System Suite of packages at RMCS. The armed services expect a high level of dedication and standard of presentation to satisfy their educational and training needs. To fulfill these requirements for the teaching of Control Systems, RMCS includes, in addition to the traditional lecture and laboratory sessions, an increasing commitment to hands on use of computers. Most of the computer packages used have been developed at RMCS, and the simulations have arisen from research and contract work carried out within the Control and Guidance Group, and they are mainly in the areas of Guided Weapons and Aircraft Control Systems. Now that the packages are available on desktop computers that can be moved to where the students might be, they can be used in conjunction with practical experiments on real Control systems.
