Development of STOLAND, a versatile navigation, guidance and control system.STOLAND has been developed to perform navigation, guidance, control, and flight management experiments in advanced V/STOL aircraft. An integrated digital concept using modern avionics components was selected as the simplest approach to maximizing versatility and growth potential. Unique flexibility has been obtained by use of a single, general-purpose digital computer for all navigation, guidance, control, and displays computation. Modularity of the software insures easy change of experiments. The general-purpose computer is integrated with flexible pilot controls and with both electromechanical and CRT displays for maximum cockpit versatility. A complex hierarchy of control modes with safety monitors and interlocks has been provided.
