MATLAB, which stands for Matrix Laboratory, is a mathematical tool software produced by MathWorks. The first version was released in 1984.
MATLAB consists of two parts: the underlying MATLAB programming language and the upper-level toolbox modules.
It features matrix operations, algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis, and supports creating user interfaces as well as calling programs written in other languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
It includes dozens of built-in toolboxes covering mathematical computation, modeling and simulation, electronic communication, mechanical engineering, automotive aviation, power energy, economics and finance, biomedical, artificial intelligence, and more.
Every polytechnic university must use MATLAB.
The underlying programming language of MATLAB can be replaced by other languages.
What cannot be replaced in MATLAB are the countless toolbox modules and the interdisciplinary ecosystem that has developed over 36 years.
For example, to create a ship simulation module, theoretically, any programmer can write this simulation module.
This programmer must master knowledge in programming algorithms, advanced mathematics, fluid mechanics, materials science, marine environment science, thermodynamics, and more.
Establishing a team and collaborating can make this software a reality.
Then comes the debugging, error correction, and iteration process, which may take several years or even decades to produce an industrial-grade simulation program.
Since its release in 1984, MATLAB has accumulated 38 years in various fields. In the software industry, 38 years equates to several generations.
Lockheed Martin uses MATLAB to develop flight control systems for fighter jets, spacecraft navigation, guidance and control systems, satellite communication systems, spacecraft power systems, predictive maintenance systems, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Mars rovers, autonomous systems, hypersonic vehicles, advanced wireless systems, and hybrid and electric aircraft.
Lockheed Martin has built a complete model-based design system using MATLAB, including model-based design processes, model design specifications and automated checks, high-safety code generation configurations, specialized algorithms, and object model libraries.
MATLAB has become the foundational R&D platform for Lockheed Martin, applied in multiple fields of aviation and aerospace, and is an essential tool for technological innovation and R&D.
