Creation of a Modular Emulation and Demonstration Tool (MEDT) for use in demonstrating hardware in the loop (HWIL) capabilities.
Creation of this tool will involve creating a modular plug and play system with swappable components that attach to a modular skeleton capable of being installed into a 3D printed model.
The system would be able to connect to each component sense the type of component and connect in with the appropriate communication protocol. For input components (IMU, ground height sensor) the system should take in those inputs and relay commands to the output components (fin actuators or tvc actuators)
Stretch work: The system would be able to ingest a trajectory and mimic the commands for the available systems (ie, fin actuators, nozzle actuators, seeker/sensors).
