A compact toolchain is implemented for the control system design for helicopter ship deck landings in a simulated environment which provides a cost-efficient and safe environment to test different scenarios. The evaluation of the ship deck landing manoeuvres is mostly performed for Ship Helicopter Operation Limits (SHOL) evaluation and performance of the helicopter. In most of the assessments, a subjective assessment is performed using different pilot rating scales which is not sufficient and the objective assessment of the simulation data for the mission success itself is seldom performed. The developed toolchain evaluates the successful operation of ship-based rotorcraft by considering both ship and helicopter dynamics, environmental conditions, and the pilot’s responses. The toolchain evaluates various touchdown conditions like helicopter position, velocity and attitude relative to the ship deck. It also displays additional evaluation parameters for the entire approach. A preliminary pilot study was performed in a simulator within a complete maritime scenario design. The maritime simulation environment includes a nonlinear helicopter flight model with a model-based flight control system, a ship dynamic model with the simulated turbulent air wake and realistic wave and water effects. For a subjective assessment of the ship deck landings, subjective pilot ratings using different rating scales were recorded during the pilot study. Simulation results show that the toolchain is convenient and well suited for assessing helicopter ship deck landing performance in a simulation environment as it provides a complete objective and subjective evaluation.
