The Pennsylvania State University's Intelligent Distributed Control Research Laboratory is currently defining a control system and required instrumentation for the Pratt Whitney XNR2000 fast spectrum, CERMET-fueled nuclear rocket. The project includes development of simulation models to evaluate various control algorithms, application of recent advances in intelligent control theory, and evaluation of conventional and unconventional process variable sensors. The resulting control system will be evaluated against a base-line control system for the NERVA-derived nuclear rocket, examining the control effort and ability to manage off-normal conditions.
