Capabilities in Wide Angle Visual Technology

Abstract

This report provides a sound technological basis for the specification of advanced visual systems for state-of-the-art aircraft flight simulators. The results of a survey of current and near-term wide angle visual systems are presented. Hardware and training risks are assessed for the application of various image generation sources and wide angle visual systems to specific pilot training tasks. Specification language is provided as a guide for procurement of a wide angle visual system with a full mission capability.
