Advanced Simulator for Pilot Training (ASPT): Aerial Refueling Visual Simulation-Engineering Development.

Abstract

This report documents the engineering modifications made to the Advanced Simulator for Pilot Training (ASPT) to expand its capability to include aerial refueling simulation. These modifications include the generation of a number of KC-135 tanker models (in various levels of image detail), refueling boom, and director lights. The existing variable/slewable field-of-view program was modified to generate multiple window configurations. The on-line programs were amended to provide boom dynamics, operational director lights, and tanker flow field effects. Performance measurement techniques and a dynamic graphics display were programmed to provide an adequate means of assessing and monitoring pilot performance. (Author)
