The presently disclosed subject matter includes a Ux V system simulator. According to some examples synthetic images are display on the display device, the synthetic images showing an artificial representation of an environment in which operation of a Ux V is being simulated, the images are shown as if viewed from a vantage point of an imaging payload located onboard the Ux V; the images are processed to extract thereform values of one or more graphic image parameters; responsive to a command issued with respect to the synthetic images, the extracted values are compared with respective predefined reference values; A simulation of the issued command is executed only if the comparison between the extracted values and respective reference values complies with at least one predefined condition, thereby increasing similarity between the operation of the simulator and the operation of the real UAV system being simulated.

A device includes a frame having a plurality of rails, each rail including a slider. A first rail support member is connected to a first end of the plurality of rails, and a second rail support member is connected to a second end of the plurality of rails. The second end is opposite the first end. A plurality of arms is connected to the sliders. Each arm includes a ball joint at one end connected to one of the sliders. Each arm includes another end, opposite the one end, connected to a platform via a hinge joint. The platform is configured to roll and pitch via changing positions of the sliders along the plurality of rails.

A water rollover simulation system includes a simulation training device. The simulation training device is connected to a track, wherein one end of the track is submerged in water. The simulation training device begins a simulation on another portion of the track not submerged in water, moves toward the end of the track, and completes the simulation by allowing one or more trainees to escape the simulation training device while the simulation training device is submerged under water. The water rollover simulation system includes various safety features. The safety features can be activated automatically after a predetermined amount of time, or manually via a remote control system.

A mechanical trigger device comprises a reset screw configured to re-assemble the mechanical trigger device. The resettable screw may be disposed in a slot in a housing of the mechanical trigger device and coupled to a firing pin disposed within the housing. The reset screw may be configured to translate the firing pin within the housing and re-engage a sear after use of the mechanical trigger device.

Systems, computer readable media, and method concern includes generating visual, auditory and other sensory depictions of a life-sized virtual crew member in an aircraft simulator. The virtual crew member simulates operational actions and behavioral and physiological responses of a crew member of an aircraft. The method includes collecting one or more responses of an operator using the aircraft simulator. The one or more responses comprise biofeedback data associated with the operator. The method includes generating, in response to the one or more responses, one or more simulated operational actions or simulated behavioral and physiological responses for the virtual crew member. The method includes collecting one or more additional responses of the operator. The one or more additional responses comprise additional biofeedback data of the operator that corresponds to an interaction with the one or more simulated operational actions or simulated behavioral and physiological responses for the virtual crew member.

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for training a user to control one or more simulated remotely operated machines. A network stream definition language file is used to identify and process simulated remotely operated machine data exchanged between a simulation computing device and a plurality of simulation stations, possibly being defined by many different Interface Control Documents (ICDs). Any exchange of simulated remotely operated machine data between the simulation computing device and a simulation station passes through a protocol gateway that implements the network stream definition language file. The protocol gateway is located at any point of the communication between the simulation computing device and the simulation station. Because the network stream definition language file configures the protocol gateway to process data between the simulation computing device and the plurality of simulation stations, each potentially having respective proprietary ICDs, only a single protocol gateway is necessary within the system.

A method for determining an effect of a simulated obstacle on a main rotor induced velocity of a simulated rotorcraft in a simulation, comprising: receiving an aircraft airspeed of the simulated rotorcraft and a height above ground for the simulated rotorcraft; generating a line of sight vector having a source position located on the simulated rotorcraft, a direction and a given length; determining a distance between the simulated obstacle and the simulated rotorcraft using the line of sight vector, the distance being at most equal to the given length of the line of sight vector; determining an induced airflow velocity using the distance between the simulated obstacle and the simulated rotorcraft, the aircraft airspeed and the height above ground, the induced airflow velocity being caused by a downwash recirculation flow generated by the simulated obstacle; and outputting the induced airflow velocity.

The invention relates to an ejection seat simulator of extraction parachute type for experiencing escape from a manned aircraft which includes a base, a guide rail, a power device, a somatosensory seat, a head-mounted display, and a pair of control pull ring. A box, a controller and an air pump are disposed on the base. The power device includes a first support plate, a hydraulic rod, a guide wheel set, a first shaft, a connecting plate, a motor and a gear set. The control pull ring includes a ring body and a pull rope. The ring body is inlaid with a control button, a wireless transmission module, a tension sensor and a buffer spring. The ejection seat simulator of extraction parachute type for experiencing escape from a manned aircraft of the invention has advantages of having reasonable and simple structure, easy to operate, low price, safe and reliable, strong authenticity, high intelligence, which effectively solves the problem of being unable to experience or train escape in ejection seats in the real manned aircrafts.

Systems and methods include providing a virtual reality (VR) flight emulator system that simulates control, operation, and response of a vehicle. The flight emulator includes a control interface and a head-mounted display worn by a user. Motion, orientation, and/or forces experienced by the simulated vehicle are imparted to a user through a motion-control seat. Multiple flight emulators can be connected to a communication network, and a master flight emulator may teleport into a slave flight emulator in order to observe, overtake, override, and/or assume control of the slave flight emulator. Inputs made via the control interface of the master flight emulator or during playback of a pre-recorded training exercise or flight mission are translated into the control interface, head-mounted display, and motion-control seat of the slave flight emulator to provide real-time feedback to the user of the slave flight emulator.
