Simulator Networking. Phase 1
Abstract
Amherst Systems is working to add Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) capability to the Integrated Test Bed (ITB) facility aircraft simulator for the Avionics directorate at Wright Laboratory (WL), Wright-Patterson AFB. The Avionics Directorate is the Air Force research laboratory for advanced avionics concepts. Current research areas include multiprocessor architectures, defensive avionics, and integrated communication, navigation and identification (CNI) systems. The Avionics directorate is actively working to integrate its facilities so that systems and concepts can be developed, tested, and evaluated in a multispectral environment. The ITB simulator is the vehicle for advanced testing. It is an engineering level simulator that is easily reconfigurable to play the role of many different aircraft. The ITB simulator features fully programmable flight dynamics capability, an out-the-window display, terrain, and avionics displays. Operational systems such as electronic sensors and weapons can be added based on the desired application. The ITB simulator supports man- in-the-loop testing for systems and concepts in software based simulations.
