The Manned Flight Simulator (MFS) at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (formerly the Naval Air Test Center) was created to provide rapid response to a wide range of US Navy simulation requirements. The necessity to simulate any aircraft in the US Navy inventory stimulated the idea of creating 'roll-in, roll-out' simulation bays that would accept any cockpit having standard geometric and electrical interfaces. The capability to use any cockpit at any simulation bay in turn led to the need for a flexible and generic software package for simulating any airframe. The Controls Analysis and Test Loop Environment (CASTLE) executive allows the user to easily generate and operate an aircraft simulation, while also providing a very powerful set of tools for simulation development and engineering analysis. Although the CASTLE package was originally designed to operate on Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) machines using the VMS operating system and DEC screen management software, recent developments include a MOTIF-based window interface environment and compatibility with the UNIX operating system. The CASTLE package is being proposed as a starting point for a standard airframe simulation package to satisfy US Navy requirements.
