TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL USE PREVENTION FOR CHILDREN

Not Available Cost effectiveness, and training capability, associated with avionics Part Task Trainers (PTTs) can be significantly improved by incorporating Internet based technologies. The resulting increased PTT functionality enables collaborative aircrew-to-aircrew and aircrew-to-instructor training. AAC proposes to develop a client/server interface with supporting software applications to perform networked data messaging over the Internet enabling multi-user state data sharing between User Client Applications and a server. The Phase I conceptual design defines the Networked Avionics PTT comprising a mixture of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) C/C++ software, and innovative custom software applications to create a system of networked PTT client applications, an instructor application, and a server application over the Internet. The applications utilize Dynamic Linked Libraries (DLLs) insuring flexibility, adaptability, and product reuse with multiple avionics emulations (e.g., Multi-Function Displays, Heads Up Displays, and Control Panels) resident in multiple aircraft platforms (e.g., F-16, F-18, V-22, ATF, and Commercial Aircraft). The instructor application supports controlled asynchronous fault insertion into targeted PTT user systems for degraded avionics training. A full analysis, design, proof of concept demonstrator, and final report will be provided under Phase I. A validation demonstrator using the AH-1W Control Display Navigation Unit Emulation (CDNUE) will be provided as a Phase I option.
