A system is provided for real-time, in-flight simulation of a target. A sensor system may generate a live stream of an environment of an aircraft during a flight thereof, the live stream having associated metadata with structured information indicating a real-time position of the aircraft within the environment. A target generator may generate a target image from a source of information from which a plurality of different target images may be generable. The target generator may also generate a synthetic scene of the environment including the target image. A superimposition engine may then superimpose the synthetic scene onto the live stream such that the target image is spatially and temporally correlated with the real-time position of the aircraft within the environment. The live stream with superimposed synthetic scene may be output for presentation on a display of the aircraft during the flight.

A system and method for training a student employ a simulation station that displays output to the student and receives input. The computer system has a rules engine operating on it and computer accessible data storage storing (i) learning object data including learning objects configured to provide interaction with the student at the simulation system and (ii) rule data defining a plurality of rules accessed by the rules engine. The rules data includes, for each rule, respective (a) if-portion data defining a condition of data and (b) then-portion data defining an action to be performed at the simulation station. The rules engine causes the computer system to perform the action when the condition of data is present in the data storage. For at least some of the rules, the action comprises output of one of the learning objects so as to interact with the student. The system may be networked with middleware and adapters that map data received over the network to rules engine memory.

A simulator assistance method and system adaptively mitigates Pilot Induced Oscillations (PIOs) with respect to axes of rotation about the vehicle's center of mass. The method detects PIOs in a body rate signal by band pass filtering the body rate signal, and provides an adaptive response based on the amplitude of the body rate signal within the frequency band.

A portable computing device and method for transmitting Instructor Operating Station (IOS) filtered information. A portable computing device receives IOS control and monitoring data from a simulation server, displays the IOS control and monitoring data on the portable computing device, and receives a selection by a user of at least one component of the displayed IOS control and monitoring data. The selection is performed by an interaction of the user with the displayed IOS control and monitoring data. The portable computing device determines IOS filtered information related to the selected at least one component, and transmits the IOS filtered information to a destination computing device. The determination of the IOS filtered information takes into consideration destination user access rights of a destination user. The destination device may be a simulator or a portable computing device, where the destination user performs a simulation session by interacting with the simulation server.

The present disclosure proposes a haptic interaction-based virtual reality simulator and a method for operating the same, wherein a virtual tactical training environment is implemented through a virtual display device (for example, HMD), and a haptic stimulus is delivered on the basis of the position, direction, and shape of a virtual hand displayed while being synchronized with a haptic interaction glove worn by a tactical trainee inside the virtual tactical training environment, thereby improving the effect of the tactical training.
