Authentic Tactical Training for the Joint Strike Fighter
Abstract
The objective of this initial research is to develop a high fidelity, physiologically valid, multi-role tactical training test bed. The test bed will serve future efforts to develop the methods and instrumentation required to assess physiological impacts and reactions to high fidelity tactical simulation environments that incorporate g-loading cues. This is the first and only phase of the planned three phases of work that was funded. As part of the Phase 1 effort, site visits by key research and development experts were exchanged with a team of 711 HPW/RHA researchers and subject matter experts going to the Environmental Tectonics Corporation (ETC) facilities, and a team of ETC engineers came to Mesa, Arizona. The site visits initiated detailed discussions on a variety of requirements for improving flight models, visual representations, and cockpit functionality of simulation-based environments that incorporate physiological cues for application to high performance, multi-role, tactical operations. In addition, there were continued discussions related to examining and defining requirements for integrating physiologically enhanced simulation environments with fixed-based, no motion networked high fidelity distributed mission operations training.
