Advanced Aircraft Simulator Flight Fidelity Evaluation Measures

VVVVVThe problem building build a ground based training device that accurately replicates the aircraft well enough to accomplish the training has been the challenge since before World War II. Advanced aircraft flight fidelity measures are needed to better quantify the criteria required to define if the training fidelity is good enough for Navy/Marine Corps operational flight trainer acceptance. VSAT will conduct research to define a set of simulator aircrew performance measures that are necessary to evaluate current aircrew performance and predict future performance. VSAT will also conduct research to define a set of fidelity measurements for various simulator subsystems. VSAT will establish the relationship between the two sets of measurements to show that the fidelity measurements provide can demonstrably support the aircrew performance measurements.
