Image Generation/Display Conference II, 10-12 June 1981: Closing Comments.
Abstract
The paper briefly outlines the objectives and accomplishments of the conference and acknowledges the contributions of some specific individuals. The paper then addresses the state-of-the-art in image generation/display for flight simulation, which was the substantive area of the conference. In this regard, the paper discusses the AFHRL Advanced Simulator for Pilot Training (ASPT), its history, and its application to specific training areas such as conventional dive bomb tasks and low-angle strafe, using the A-10 configuration of the ASPT. Some experimental results are reported. Research and development (R and D) on the ASPT is now advancing to air combat mission training (CMT). The paper describes what is involved in realizing state-of-the-art CMT; namely, (1) a data base collection system, (2) an image generation system, and (3) a crew interface/display system. The status of AFHRL R and D in each of these areas is presented. Finally, the need for addressing real and potential impacts of successful R and D in credible, quantitative terms is emphasized. A 'notional' CMT impact analysis is provided to show how R and D organizations can present options to Air Force management-options through which they can increase the ease and probability of air combat success.
