Abstract

An application programming interface (API) was developed to support implementation of receding horizon control (RHC) schemes with in the Open Control Platform (OCP) real-time software environment. The basic philosophy and process timing architecture is presented, along with details of a prototype implementation of a quadratic programming based generic RHC scheme. The API framework relies on a real-time software infrastructure and provides a high-level interface to control engineers, which simplifies the embedded control design and implementation process significantly. The RHC API was successfully a fight tested on a full-scale aircraft in the DARPA-sponsored Software Enabled Control program final demonstration experiment.
