Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology II (ADST II) Aviation Reconfigurable Manned Simulator Test Cell Proof of Principle System Description

Abstract

This System Description provides a summary of the principle elements of the Aviation Reconfigurable Manned Simulator Test Cell (ARMS-TC) Proof of Principle device. The device was used as an evaluation tool in assessing fidelity requirements for an aviation element collective task trainer. The device can be configured as an UH-60 Blackhawk, OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, or an AH-64A Apache. The visual system is based on a Silicon Graphics, Inc. Infinite Reality image generator and includes both out the window monitors and a helmet mounted display capability. In addition, the visuals included head down and night vision goggle sensor views. The system includes nine personal computers as the computational capability. It also includes a control loading system to provide trim and pilot feel feedback. An aural cue system is used to provide sound and seat vibration cues for pilot stimulation. A digital radio communication system capability is included. The device is certified as DIS 2.04 compliant.
