Transport Delay Measurements: Methodology and Analysis for the F-16C combat Engagement Trainer, the Display for Advanced Research and Training, and the F-16A Limited Field of View

Abstract

Transport delays between the cockpit and visual/sensors in simulation systems can result in significant degradation of flight simulation training. At the Armstrong Laboratory, Aircrew Training Research Division, methodologies for testing visible delays were developed and measurements run on three systems. The tests showed significant transport delays; in some cases, higher than anticipated. Further analysis of the data revealed that the delays were caused by specific hardware and software configurations. Changes in configurations can eliminate the problem entirely, or can decrease transport delays to an acceptable range.
