迫于抑制导弹研制成本不断上升的英国宇航动力公司,在仿真方面作了大量投资。该公司最近将斯凡蒂纳的导弹仿真设备又进行了扩建,把它说成欧洲同类设备中最完善最先进的设备,但是所包含的基本原理可能并不比其它的简单。这套设备最重要的在于它是降低成本的有效途径。这套设备安装在斯凡蒂纳军备分公司的旧车间和办公楼中间的一栋外表不中看的建筑物内,但它却充分发挥出了效率并在全弹试验中节省了资金。 British Aerospace Power Corporation, which was forced to curb the rising costs of developing missiles, made substantial investments in simulation. The company recently expanded the Svetini’s missile simulation equipment and described it as the most complete and state-of-the-art equipment of its kind in Europe, but the underlying rationale involved may not be any simpler. The most important aspect of this device is that it is an effective way to reduce costs. Installed in an unsightly building in the middle of the old workshop and office building of the Sivignan Armed Forces Branch, the device was fully efficient and saved money on a full-scale test.
