Hardware-In-The-Loop (HWIL) testing typically requires the implementation of a two axis Target Motion Simulator such as the Ideal Aerosmith Model 2452H. This system is configured with hydraulic actuator drives to ensure operational and performance compatibility with Ideal Aerosmith’s Model 2453H-ER Three Axis Hydraulic Flight Motion Simulator (FMS). The two axis configuration may be mounted to a separate base or to a base common to the three axis system. The conventional TMS with a gimbal configuration provides azimuth and elevation target motion, and all axes intersect at a common point to eliminate parallax, with the missile seeker gimbal system located at the 3X FMS intersection of axes.
