Networked Avionics Part Task Trainer

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to develop a conceptual design for enabling networking and collaborative training using Avionics Part Task Trainers (APTTs). R&D efforts resulted in a conceptual design comprising an innovative adaptation and utilization of the DoD High Level Architecture (HLA). AAC defined design requirements for a Software Development Kit (SDK) that provides APTT application developers an "export C" Application Programming Interface (API) enabling functional HLA integration for applications developed in visual Basic, Authorware, and Rapid CBT. Results of this effort include a high level design capable of supporting prototype development of a distributed set of APTT applications executing in an HLA federation. Potential application of the SDK product applies to any PC based application that can benefit from, or has growth plans to, provide distributed data sharing over the internet. This could include multiple student PC workstations, Instructor PC workstations, and monitoring server applications.
