1 SIMWARE Building Training Devices with Simware Version 2

2 THE PROBLEM THE SOLUTION CASE IN POINT In brief Market is demanding to lower the cost of acquisition and maintenance of training devices. Training devices manufacturers and integrators are having many problems to meet market demand, even when they try to use COTS in a massive way. A great challenge is in the market: demand for training devices is higher but with lower prices that cannot be meet by providers. Instead of building your simulator, integrate it by using a common simulation platform. Be focused in deliver the right training solution not in how to technically build the simulator. Improve your time to market and reduce your development costs by improving reusability and composability. Assure an affordable Cost of maintenance by using a future-proof architecture. Simware has been used as the simulation platform for the development of JAR/FAR certified training devices. Simware provides an integration platform to build the training device as a composition of COTS already available in the market, thus reducing the necessity of new developments. 2

3 The challenge: how to build a training device starting with many COTS Image Generator Avionics and instruments Simulation Models Building a simulator using COTS and reusing other components developed previously in the organization is not an easy task. Building a simulator from different components requires managing many different protocols, APIs and architectures Without a common platform, integration can be a real nightmare, compromising deadlines and the budget. 3 Reservados todos los derechos / All Rights Resedved

4 The Solution : Using an open architecture as your integration platform Visual system Cockpit Instructor Station Real Time Simulation Platform Motion Platform Simulation models Synthetic Environment 4

5 Simware provides a data-centric platform to integrate with main COTS Visual system Cockpit Instructor Station CIGI adaptor Code Generated using GLStudio or VAPS XT C++ API SCORM API Open Data Models compliant with HLA Simware Platform Simware Real time Scheduler C++ API Code Generated using Simulink HLA interface Motion Platform Simulation models Synthetic Environment 5

6 Advantages of using a Data-Centric Simulation Platform Allows to define and maintain a common data model and Data Exchange Mechanisms between heterogeneous software components Uncouples the architecture of the simulator Allows a better management of the qualities of service (QoS) for data exchanging Allows the physical distribution of the software components in different machines anytime Encapsulates standards compliance inside the middleware 6

7 EXIM Use Case : A JAR qualified FNPT based on Simware DISTI GL-STUDIO SIMWARE SIMDEVELOPER Quantum3D Mantis (Image Generator) Virtual Cockpit Instructor Station Presagis Stage (Air Traffic Scenario) Simulation Models Simware Real time Scheduler Simware Platform Piper Simulation Data Model Using Simware real time scheduler to manage real time performance and simulation state-machine Simulation models developed from Engineering Data Package in Simulink (using SimDeveloper) Integrating CIGI compliant Image Generator as Visual System Using HLA compliant CGF to simulate Air Traffic scenarios Visual development of panels & gauges using GLStudio COTS 7

8 EXIM: Full deployment of Simware platform Simware platform provides a common core with pub-sus and simulation management. SimDeveloper was used to build simulation modules from data package of Piper Arrow aircraft. SimWare API C++ from Windows and Linux allows to integrate the virtual cockpit and IOS. CIGI interface of the platform allows to integrate a compatible visual with this std. HLA compatibility allows to integrate the synthetic scenario using Stage. Data-centric architecture allows to automate JAR tests without needing to modify the simulator. 8

9 Simware allows Exim to be scalable without technical risk and hidden cost To visual Training integrated at air traffic + Training flight From basic trainer for instrumental flight + Synthetic environment + Visual FNPT I isolated without visual 9

10 ATR Use Case: Integrating gaming technologies in Simware platform Presagis VAPS Prepar3D 3D visual (Image Generator) Virtual Cockpit Instructor Station Presagis Stage (Air Traffic Scenario) Prepar3D ATR Model Simulation Models Simware Platform ATR Simulation Data Model Using Prepar3D engine to manage real time performance and simulation state-machine Using ATR Simulation models in Prepar3D Using Prepar3D image generator as visual system Using HLA compliant CGF to simulate Air Traffic scenarios Visual development of panels & gauges using VAPS XT COTS 10

11 RPAS Virtual Trainer RPAS Camera TMS Glass Cockpit IOS CIGI adaptor LTI interface Code Generated from VAPS XT C++ API Open Data Models compliant with HLA Simware Platform Simware Real time Scheduler STANAG 4586/JAUS/DDS Code Generated from Simulink HLA/DIS interface Control Station Simulation models Synthetic Environment 11

12 Summary: main advantages of using Simware for Virtual Training Provides an open and standard-compliant simulation platform Data-Centric architecture focused on integration rather than building Uncoupled layered architecture allows flexibility in the design solutions Native distributed architecture gives flexibility in the deployment and physical configuration Easy integration with main simulation and gaming COTS 12
