Boeing MAC Aggressor Flight Simulators |
Delivery of three flight simulator stations to simulate blue and red aggressor force fighters
in the Boeing 737AEW&C Mission Analysis Center (MAC). These simulators are part of the distributed
mission operations (DMO) virtual battle-space network which also includes the 737AEW&C aircraft
simulator and PLEXSYS ASCOT generated constructive land, sea and air simulated entities.
The installed simulators include F-16 and F-18 style cockpits and a portable simulator desktop. Each simulator
can portray either F-16 or Mig-29 aircraft capabilities interacting with the virtual battle-space. The simulators use
either a single channel or three channel out-the-window visual scene system driven by MetaVR®s VRSG 5 image
generation software running on low profile 1U computer systems. The cockpits also utilize the Plexsys Plexcomm
software and T3 communication system providing network based radio communications activated by integrated
HOTAS push-to-talk functionality.
The simulator systems are based on ZedaSoft's Container Based Architecture, CBA® for Simulation, which is a patent
pending, object-sharing Java based simulation framework. "Java has brought an unprecedented level of stability and
flexibility to our simulation systems, and also allows us to easily integrate various aircraft virtual cockpits within the
same simulation instance", said G.W. Estep, president of ZedaSoft.
Boeing's Mission Analysis Center (MAC) in Kent, WA supports the 737 Airborne Early Warning and Control
(AEW&C) program for Australia, Turkey and the Republic of Korea.
