Applying the NIST real-time control system reference model to submarine automation:

摘要

The Robot Systems Division (RSD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been developing a generic reference model architecture, known as the Real-time (Control System (RCS), for the last two decades. This paper demonstrates the application of RCS to submarine automation. The automation of submarine operations involves complex system functionality and requires an enormous amount of intelligence to be built into the software to enable a submarine to operate in an unstructured and often hostile environment semi-autonomously. Software is emerging as a predominant factor in determining the success and performance of modem large and complex intelligent systems.
