Collins Aerospace was one of 37 companies to be selected for this $32.5 billion ceiling award and will deliver integrated simulation solutions to enhance mission effectiveness.
Professor Susan Durbin and her team have won the ESRC 2022 Celebrating Impact Prize for their research into the under-representation of women in the UK aviation and aerospace industry. Their work includes the development of alta, an industry-wide mentoring scheme that supports women to build their careers in a traditionally male-dominated profession.
The U.S. Air Force has established the P6CTS as its official Program of Record and selected the Collins Aerospace Tactical Combat Training System – Increment II as its preferred solution.
Collins Aerospace has selected AdaCore’s QGen code generator for Simulink/Stateflow models and TQL-1 Enterprise Qualification Package to advance the development of their FAA-certifiable PerigonTM computer.
Collins Aerospace Systems, a unit of Raytheon Technologies, unveiled a new simulation and training solution that provides an enhanced immersive experience for commercial airline pilot training.
Collins Aerospace Systems launched Panorama HiLite, a new solid mirror display system that brings accuracy, lightweight design and an extended 300-degree Field of View for side-by-side crew training.
The US Air Force is working to develop its Operational Training Structure (OTI) through the incorporation of LVC. Chuck Weirauch takes a look at the latest efforts to integrate the Live element into the LVC environment.
While US and joint training demonstrations have validated the concept of blended live-virtual-constructive (LVC)-based air combat training, the primary remaining challenge is the integration of virtual and constructive entities with front line aircraft Operational Flight Programs (OTFs) according to Michael Aldinger, Northrop Grumman manager of LVC Mission Integration.
Just how to “spoof” blue aircraft sensor systems into “believing” that the projected virtual and constructive entities they “see” on the training range are real adversary aircraft, missiles and ground elements and then showing them to the pilot of the aircraft on its screens and displays is the key to adding the “live” component to air combat LVC training. The means to accomplishing this goal is to modify the aircraft’s OTF so that it recognizes those projected false adversary virtual and constructive entities as what they were made up to be, rather than what they actually are. Multiple sources sending virtual and constructive false electronic entities into the range environment as adversaries can be added to increase the complexity and realism of the training exercise.
