Data Analysis and Networking Design. Low Cost Aviation Technology Testbed
Abstract
IST is developing a low cost Aviation Test Bed to investigate fidelity issues in low cost aviation and networking. This paper addresses the issue of determining a simulator's position or utility in the domain of networked simulation. In order to determine the simulator's utility in this domain, assessment and interfacing methods must be developed. IST is developing a new simulator performance assessment system and a general purpose design to network dissimilar simulators. A three step approach of design, fabrication, and testing is being used to develop a simulator performance assessment system. The design phase includes requirements definitions, and design approaches. The fabrication phase includes integration of off the-shelf equipment. The testing phase includes both system tests which validate the component design, and operational tests which gather and reduce simulator performance data. IST's approach to assessing simulator performance is novel in two ways: the approach uses parameter identification methods to establish a relationship between the aircraft, the simulation, and the piloted simulator; and it uses video tape to capture flight relevant cues for parameter identification.
