The integrated Propulsion Control System (IPCS) program was conducted to pursue and demonstrate the advantages of integrated propulsion controls. The program encompassed the design, build, flight qualification, and flight testing of control modes, software, and hardware. The flight test vehicle was an F-111E. The left inlet and TF30-P-9 engine were modified to operate under control of an HDC-601 computer. Two sets of hardware were built or modified and two sets of software were developed; one implemented the bill-of-materials control laws and one implemented control laws developed under contract. A step-by-step sequence of tests of increasing complexity demonstrated suitability for flight. Fifteen flights were conducted to evaluate the IPCS. This document describes the design, fabrication, and ground testing of the IPCS. (Author)
