HAWK

Comprehensive Handling Qualities Evaluation Tool_

Building on 65 years of STI expertise, the Handling Qualities Analysis and Workload Assessment Kit (HAWK) is the ultimate toolset for predictive handling qualities (HQ) evaluation. Designed for fixed-wing, rotorcraft, and UAS platforms, HAWK supports in-depth flight and simulation analysis with a custom-built interface.

Key Features of HAWK

Predictive HQ criteria and key boundary assessments
Pilot-Induced Oscillation (PIO) analysis tools and metrics
Time-varying wavelet-based pilot activity analysis
Detailed plotting and reporting for Mission Task Elements (MTEs) and HQ tests
Customizable analysis using MATLAB

HAWK is engineered to assess vehicle handling in any environment, ensuring precision in every evaluation. Hawk can be used to analyze flight and simulation data and uses custom build GUIs to support analysis. Requires MATLAB.

SOAR

Optimizing Aircraft Response for HQ Analysis_

As a powerful add-on to HAWK, SOAR (System for Optimizing Aircraft Response) is designed to optimize flight control gain sets to meet Level 1 HQ requirements. Using multi-stage optimization, SOAR tailors solutions to ensure optimal handling qualities for any aircraft type, including rotorcraft, fixed-wing, and UAS.

Key Features of SOAR

Optimizes HQs, integrating with existing flight control software like Simulink
Customizable metrics and user-defined requirements
Pairs with HAWK for a complete HQ solution
Requires MATLAB and HAWK to run

With SOAR, elevate your flight control systems to the highest standards of performance and safety. Couple HAWK and SOAR for a complete HQ tool for all program needs.
