Abstract
This paper describes an approach to a modular control for an electromagnetic aircraft launching system (EMALS) for the aircraft carrier of the future. The purpose is to analyze the possibility of improving the control performance using efficient evaluation of switching conditions. Different options for the basic control design are discussed and as well as the way in which these options will be tested using the virtual test bed (VTB) software.
