Supervisory Logic and Task Scheduling

Launch Abort System

Model a launch abort system for an orbiter.

Developing the Apollo Lunar Module Digital Autopilot

"Working on the design of the Lunar Module digital autopilot was the highlight of my career as an engineer. When Neil Armstrong stepped off the LM (Lunar Module) onto the moon's surface, every engineer who contributed to the Apollo program felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. We had succeeded in our goal. We had developed technology that never existed before, and through hard work and meticulous attention to detail, we had created a system that worked flawlessly." -Richard J. Gran, The Apollo 11 Moon Landing: Spacecraft Design Then and Now.

Design a Guidance System in MATLAB and Simulink

Use the model of the missile airframe presented in a number of published papers on the use of advanced control methods applied to missile autopilot design. See [1], [2], and [3]. The model represents a tail-controlled missile traveling between Mach 2 and Mach 4, at altitudes ranging between 10,000 ft (3,050 m) and 60,000 ft (18,290 m), with typical angles of attack ranging between +/- 20 degrees.

Implement an Automatic Transmission Gear System by Using the duration Operator

Use debouncing logic to filter out transient signals that do not represent a true change of state.

Scheduling Subsystems in Stateflow

Execute function-call subsystems by using Stateflow logic.
