Joint Shipboard Helicopter Integration Process

摘要

Ames Research Center has designed, developed, integrated, and put into operation a state- of-the-art full-motion simulator for the Joint Shipboard Helicopter Integration Process (JSHIP) program. JSHIP is a Joint Military Test and Evaluation program, sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to develop and test the processes and mechanisms that facilitate joint helicopter and ship operations. JSHIP has teamed with Ames Research Center to develop a man-in-the-loop simulator that replicates the dynamic interface of an LHA-class ship and a UH-GOA Blackhawk helicopter. The objective was to develop a simulator capable of being used to define wind- over-deck (WOD) launch and recovery flight scenarios providing increased interoperability of helicopter units not specifically designed to go aboard Navy ships.
