EFW (RSIL) Helicopter Simulator |
The initial implementation supported the testing of a mission processor and
display hardware set for the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) program.
The integration tasks included developing a 1553 MUX bus interface between the
simulation host computer running CBA® and the EFW hardware in the loop being
tested. An extension to the CBA® for Simulation recording and playback software
will also be used in the EFW test suite to aid in testing and documentation of the avionics
system's quality and performance.
ZedaSoft also integrated a four channel MetaVR® "Out-the-Window" visual scene system which includes
simulated IR and radar capabilities. The radar simulation includes both Ground Map and SAR video to
demonstrate the advantages to EFW's onboard electronics hardware for fighter and helicopter aircraft
systems. The addition of a visual scene system to the RSIL provides a means to test the hardware in a
more realistic tactical scenario and give early indications of the system's training requirements.
