Development of Versatile HLA Interface Unit for Naval Aircrew Trainers

摘要

This project is a Phase II effort of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) of Naval Air Systems Command. There are two independent tasks included in this contract as follows: 1. Tomcat Software Update Mode (TSUM): a remote software update system for the F-14D trainer; and 2. Versatile Flight Trainer Network Interface Unit (VFTNIU): a High Level Architecture (HLA) compliant interface unit for the F-14D trainer. The objective of the TSUM task was to develop and implement a process whereby Pt. Mugu personnel can install and test software changes in the Oceana F-14D simulators remotely from the Pt. Mugu TSSA. The primary product of this task is equipment that provides a secure data and voice connection from Pt. Mugu to the F-14D trainer at Oceana. The objective of the VFTNIU task was to provide a gateway to an HLA network for the F-14D Tomcat trainer. Furthermore this gateway would be designed such that it could be enhanced to support other flight trainers in terms of HLA connectivity. The primary product of this project is a flexible hardware/software package that will initially allow PMA-2O5 to make the F-14D WST and MFT simulators HLA compliant. This product will be designed to be flexible enough that, with minor modifications, it can be used to make other Navy flight simulators HLA compliant.
