Aircraft Simulator Commonality Study Computation System Selection Criteria and Model.

摘要

Digital computer selection practices in USAF simulator procurements were reviewed. Information about operational aircraft simulators was obtained from fourteen USAF bases, four of which were visited by the authors. A model was formulated which employs six categories of criteria for assessing, from the USAF point of view, the relative merits of candidate computer systems for application in USAF flight training simulators. The model was implemented in FORTRAN 4 and installed on the CDC-6600 computer system at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Preparation of a comprehensive data base tape file for use with the program similar to an example used in program checkout is recommended. (Author)
