Abstract
Design of aerospace vehicles relies on system models. These models rely on validation data to ensure accurate representation of the system. This paper provides an introduction to the problem and an overview of a NATO STO Activity, AVT-297, which developed a framework to determine validation experiments required to support system level models. The goals of the research group were to develop a process to identify a validation database for intended uses of a vehicle system, demonstrate the process on vehicles and document the process. Applying this process to multiple intended uses and collecting this set of validation databases identifies a set of validation experiments that could be applied to the design of multiple vehicles, further reducing the cost and time to develop air and naval vehicles. Four subgroup teams focused on different aspects of the validation database process: two focused on different aspects of a missile, and two focused on different aspects of a fixed-wing mobility transport class vehicle. This resulted in three different processes to decompose the multi-disciplinary problem to identify critical validation data. All four of the teams demonstrated their process on a sample problem demonstrating the benefit of the process.
