Air-to-Ground Visual Simulation Demonstration. Volume 1

Abstract

Project 2235 was structured in three phases. Phase I was the technical evaluation phase, Phase II was the operational evaluation phase and Phase III was the reporting phase. The report documents project activities and results in two volumes. Volume 1 documents Phase III, the reporting phase. It contains an executive summary, results of Phase I and II, and an analysis of those results, conclusions and recommendations. Volume 2 documents the detailed procedures and methods used during Phase I and II. Engineering data obtained during Phase I is also contained in Volume 2. This volume documents Phase III efforts. Valuable and cost-effective aircrew training using image simulation has been thoroughly established by its use for many years. The major area of application, however, has been for training aircrews of multicrew aircraft. Visual flight simulation, applicable to fighter/ attack mission, has remained virtually unexplored. The introduction of new fighter/attack aircraft into the operational inventory is but one of many factors influencing increased interest and focusing attention on the feasibility of visually simulating environments for the fighter/attack mission. Project 2235 is a result of increased interest and was an ambitious step toward exploring this application of visual simulation.
