Air Cushion Vehicle Operator Training System (ACVOTS). Simulator Requirements Analysis. Volume 2.

摘要

The most complex training device for large air cushion vehicle (ACV) operators would be a full-mission simulator. Such a device has not been built, but would be analogous to the simulators currently in use for training both military and civilian aircrew in the operation of aircraft such as the B-52, the C-130, and Boeing 747. The equipment provides a learning environment which is a reproduction of the conditions to be found in operation of the real-world vehicle. In contrast to the real world, the environment in which a simulated vehicle operates is controllable by an instructor, who may introduce malfunctions in chosen vehicle systems and is assisted by computer to monitor the way in which the trainees respond to a learning experience. This Appendix describes the components of a typical full-mission simulator for vehicles of a complexity comparable to a Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC). The state of applicable current technology is described along with modifications and extensions of established techniques required to simulate a large ACV.
