Construction and verification of an integrated test system for underwater vehicle testing

Abstract

Integrated test architecture (ITA) is a testing infrastructure developed for overcoming the design deficiency of stovepipe system based on current construction situation of underwater vehicle equipment. The general infrastructure of ITA is given at first, and then the design of ITA-based foundation platform infrastructure (IFPI) of underwater vehicle testing (UVT) is presented with details, mainly including development of middleware and the design of ITA testing process tool (TTCT). Moreover, an integrated test system for underwater vehicle testing (ITSUVT) is constructed by developing or integrating testing resource on IFPI. Finally, the performance of VBFPI is tested according to the designed testing schemes, and the function of ITSUVT is verified by field and virtual UVT.
