Automation Framework Designed for Flight Dynamics Products Generation (XFDS)(GSC-15618-1)

This software framework automates the generation of flight dynamics products by providing a unified and consistent graphical interface to various tools. The technology coordinates the execution of applications such as Satellite ToolKit, FreeFlyer, and MATLAB; allows for the embedding of Perl code; provides a mechanism for passing messages between a collection of XFDS processes; and allows GMSEC messages to be sent and received. Automation configuration is stored in text files and can be edited directly or by using graphical editors implemented for each tool.
