Thales to Work with Airbus on H145M Pilot Training

Thales will deliver eight Reality H Full Flight Simulators to Airbus Helicopters for training German Bundeswehr and NATO pilots on the Airbus multi-role H145M helicopters as part of  the Leichter Kampfhubschrauber (LKH) programme.

The Reality H architecture is designed to level D standards from Aviation Authorities. It provides an immersive training environment, with a range of operational scenarios, stunning visual scenes and AI-controlled Computer-Generated-Forces (CGF) SETHI (Simulateur d’Environnement Tactique Hétérogène Intéractif), which is also being added to the Bundeswehr’s NH90 MR1 FFS, located at Bückeburg International Helicopter Training Centre (IHTC). The device will allow pilots to train in conditions as close as possible to real operations. To support the Bundeswher’s pilot training programmes, these simulators will include advanced briefing and debriefing capabilities.

With this solution, Thales addresses the Bundeswehr’s requirement for a seamless transition from legacy EC135 FFS simulators to Reality H. Thanks to Thales' expertise with Airbus Helicopters Simpacks (also called Data Package), Thales believes the Bundeswehr will have a smooth program execution and timely H145M delivery.
