¿A dónde miran los pilotos cuando vuelan? ¿Mantienen la calma ante una avería del motor? ¿Qué tan precisos son sus controles mientras persiguen y derriban un objetivo?

La Fuerza Aérea de la República de Singapur (RSAF) ahora puede responder estas preguntas. Bajo un nuevo programa de prueba, el Proyecto SOAR, la fuerza aérea está utilizando simuladores y sensores biométricos, combinados con análisis de datos, para entrenar y evaluar a sus pilotos en formación.

Por lo general, los pilotos en formación recién egresados ​​del entrenamiento militar básico son enviados al Air Grading Center (AGC) en Australia, luego de aprobar sus exámenes de selección y aptitud. Allí, son evaluados volando el avión de entrenamiento CT-4B.

Con el Proyecto SOAR, se sometieron a un entrenamiento de 10 días en el Comando de Entrenamiento de la Fuerza Aérea en Singapur, antes del AGC.

El simulador de vuelo de alta fidelidad puede inyectar diferentes escenarios y entornos, como el mal tiempo, en la formación de pilotos (foto: Pioneer)

Los alumnos se enfrentan a diferentes escenarios en los simuladores avanzados de alta fidelidad en el Centro de Simuladores del Proyecto SOAR, mientras usan equipos que capturan sus movimientos oculares, expresiones faciales, niveles de electrocardiograma o ECG (que rastrean el ritmo y el latido del corazón) y más.

Los datos se introducen en un programa de inteligencia artificial (IA) que puede predecir el potencial de vuelo del piloto y ayudar a mejorar su rendimiento.

Esto les permite aprender técnicas básicas de vuelo como despegue y aterrizaje, así como pasar por escenarios como maniobras de combate o manejo de emergencias.

Los datos en vivo recopilados durante la simulación se someten a un programa de IA para evaluar mejor el potencial de vuelo del aprendiz de piloto, así como sus fortalezas y debilidades (foto: Pioneer)

Project SOAR utiliza análisis de datos e inteligencia artificial para dar sentido a los datos en vivo recopilados de la simulación de vuelo del aprendiz. Los alumnos reciben un informe después de cada misión para aprender de sus errores.

"Con la recopilación de datos en segundo plano, junto con el informe, (el proyecto) puede mejorar la evaluación del instructor de los alumnos, y el aprendizaje de los alumnos se acelera", dijo el Mayor (MAJ) Jeremy Lim, quien dirige SOAR.

Actualmente, los instructores evalúan a los alumnos acompañándolos en vuelos en vivo para observar cómo vuelan. Esto es una carga para ellos, ya que anotan sus observaciones en papel, mientras guían a los alumnos y cuidan el medio ambiente, agregó MAJ Lim.

Alrededor de 250 aprendices han pasado por Project SOAR desde su primera ejecución en septiembre de 2021 (foto: Pioneer)

Los alumnos también usan un rastreador ocular que puede señalar con precisión dónde están mirando.

Esto significa que los instructores pueden advertir a los pilotos en formación si están fijando la mirada (por ejemplo, mirando demasiado su medidor de altitud) en lugar de escanear tanto el exterior como el interior de la aeronave.

Para integrar los dispositivos portátiles para este proyecto, RSAF se asoció con los Laboratorios Nacionales DSO y la Dirección de Tecnología y Sistemas Futuros del Ministerio de Defensa.

Los comentarios de los aprendices e instructores sobre el programa han sido positivos, dice MAJ Lim (foto: Pioneer)

El Proyecto SOAR comenzó en enero de 2020, con su primera tanda de aprendices a partir de septiembre de 2021. Desde entonces, 250 aprendices han pasado por el programa.

Los comentarios de los aprendices e instructores han sido positivos, dijo MAJ Lim. quien también es un piloto calificado de F-16 e instructor de vuelo.

"El Proyecto SOAR pudo brindarles a los alumnos esa experiencia (de vuelo) antes de volar en vivo... (Luego pueden) trabajar en sus debilidades durante un vuelo en vivo y emerger como un piloto más fuerte".

El programa se encuentra en su etapa experimental y se evaluará para su uso posterior en la evaluación de los pilotos en formación.

China construye un modelo de portaaviones americano en el desierto para simular ataques

China construye una maqueta de un portaaviones estadounidense en el desierto, según un informe




WIB || Michael Swaney

Beijing - El ejército chino ha construido maquetas de un portaaviones estadounidense y otros dos buques de guerra estadounidenses en su desierto noroccidental, posiblemente para ejercicios de selección de misiles, según el Instituto Naval de Estados Unidos.

La institución con sede en Maryland, que es independiente del ejército estadounidense, dijo el domingo que las imágenes de satélite que obtuvo revelaron que las réplicas habían sido colocadas en el desierto de Taklamakan en la región de Xinjiang.

El portaaviones ficticio yace prácticamente plano, pero tiene el mismo tamaño que el original, lo que significa que debería parecer similar a la imagen de un objetivo de radar, dijo el Instituto Naval.

No es la primera vez que se han visto tales maquetas en el desierto de China, pero se dice que estas réplicas son más precisas y detalladas.

Cuando se le preguntó sobre el informe, el portavoz del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Wang Wenbin, dijo a la prensa en Beijing: "No estoy al tanto de este problema".

Hay crecientes tensiones entre Estados Unidos y China por Taiwán, que Beijing considera una provincia separatista, así como el fortalecimiento militar de China y los vastos reclamos territoriales en el Mar de China Meridional.

QDND - Over the past years, the Air Defense-Air Force (PK-KQ) has actively researched and invested in the manufacture of aircraft cockpits in order to gradually become autonomous in research and production of weapons, equipment and facilities in water, contributing to improving the skills and technical manipulation of pilots during training for all types of aircraft on the payroll.
Currently, most airlines in the country as well as in the world organize training, training and periodical testing of pilots through the cockpit, greatly reducing time, costs, improving effective pilot training, especially beginner or transitional pilots. The Air Force PK-KQ is exploiting and using many different types of aircraft cockpits. Some cockpits are imported from abroad with very expensive prices and it is difficult to proactively secure materials in the process of exploitation and use.

Colonel Pham Thanh Giang, Director of the PK-KQ Technical Institute (PK-KQ Army) said: "In the 90s of the 20th century, the PK-KQ Technical Institute researched and successfully manufactured the cockpit. MiG-21 aircraft. Recently, the institute continues to research, develop, and apply many new simulation techniques to create cockpits for aircraft. moving racks; spherical flight space simulation technique, in which, the moving rack is made by a new technology combining electro-pneumatics with 6 degrees of freedom allowing relatively accurate simulation of force sensation for pilots during flight training in the cockpit”.

Regiment 929 (Division 372, Air Force Air Force) has been equipped with the Brigade-22M4 cockpit. This cockpit simulates tactical and technical features: Take-off and landing with three-dimensional images in real time; solo flight, squadron flight, squadron take-off and terrain flight; fly by the clock and fly by route with radio-guided devices; flying using the RLPK-54 aiming and guiding system and the CAY-22M2 autopilot system; handle contingencies in the air. The BDC-22M4 training room can train pilots to fly in simple and complex meteorological conditions and fly according to the clock over the entire range of speeds and altitudes allowed by the Su-22M4, including the post squadron flight and combat application.

Battalion-Mi8 training room has been used at Regiment 930 (Division 372) since October 2020. This cockpit can be used to conduct training courses for pilots, simulation systems work well with 35 contingencies according to the pilot's manual, flight space using digital maps with images. Clear image, hemispherical design screen with many high-definition projectors to help simulate space images close to reality, flight commanders check aircraft status during the entire flight.

Colonel Le Kim Trong (Department of Flight Inspection and Safety, General Staff, Air Force Air Force) after directly testing with the BTD-Mi8 cockpit, assessed: "The simulation system creates a sense of force. help pilots feel like they're using a real plane, when the plane tilts, tilts, and turns during maneuvers, and at the same time feels the vertical acceleration when taking off and landing. can reach 80-85% compared to flying in a real plane".

From the beginning of March to the middle of April 2021, Army Corps 18 coordinated with the General Staff of the Air Force PK-KQ and the 930th Regiment to use the Battalion-Mi8 to fly periodically for some of the unit's pilots. do not have to send pilots abroad to perform these flight contents as before. Lieutenant Colonel Pham Xuan Dong, Technical Director of the 930th Regiment said: "The training room of the BDT-Mi8 has used nearly 200 hours of training flight to ensure stable features, technical parameters, and good operation. meet the technical and tactical requirements, contributing to improving the quality of the regiment's pilot training".

According to Colonel Pham Thanh Giang, the dynamic cockpit meets tactical and technical criteria that have been tested and accepted according to regulations and approved by the Ministry of National Defense. At this point, the PK-KQ Technical Institute continues to research, produce and manufacture training rooms for air force units, especially for newly equipped aircraft.

Rheinmetall and Airbus Defense & Space continue their successful cooperation in training systems for the A400M transport aircraft. The new turnkey A400M Cargo Hold Part Task Trainer (CPTT) for the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) has been used for training since February 2020.

The A400M CPTT, an A400M Cargo Hold Trainer with controls that are exactly reproduced in the original scale, is used to provide realistic training for the Load Masters and Ground Personnel in accordance with the requirements of the RMAF. The CPTT can be used to train the mission-specific configurable conversion of the Cargo Hold, the preparation of the load, loading and unloading, procedures during the flight and on the ground, and the cooperation of the air crews. The system is suitable for initial as well as advanced as well as repetition and deployment training. Even complex scenarios and emergency situations can be practiced safely since no original aircraft is required.

The new Cargo Hold Part Task Trainer complements the existing simulation and training systems of the A400M Training Center at the Kuala Lumpur site (Malaysia). The targeted expansion of Rheinmetall’s comprehensive cargo product line by the CPTT enables the entire spectrum of cargo training resources to be adapted for other platforms.

In addition to the CPTT, Rheinmetall has delivered further training equipment such as the Airbus Load Master Work Station Trainer (LMWST) as well as the Airbus Cargo Hold Trainer Enhanced (CHT-E) to various A400M user nations.

The CHT-E can be classified one level higher than the CPTT. In almost every detail, it is the exact replica of the loading space, including all operating elements, control stations, electronics and equipment true to the original. With this all training contents can be trained for which a real flight is not necessary. The CHT-E was delivered to the ITC of Airbus in Seville, the Royal Air Force in Brize Norton, the German Air Force in Wunstorf and the French Paratroopers (Army) in Toulouse.

A LMWST is in use at Airbus' International Training Center (ITC) in Seville, the A400M French National Training Center in Orléans and the Royal Air Force National Training Center in Brize Norton.

“The Chinook helicopter is an iconic medium-to-heavy lift helicopter and CAE has played a key role helping prepare aircrews for operating this enduring platform,” said Ian Bell, CAE’s Senior Vice President, Global Strategy & Business Development. “Many military customers including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and the Netherlands have leveraged training systems and services from CAE to help ensure their CH-47 aircrews are ready to carry out the range of missions the Chinooks are called on to perform.”

CAE offers a wide range of customisation and upgrade services for existing operators of CH-47 FMS. These include services such as incorporation of new features for later variants of the CH-47.

Amongst the upgrades being offered include the fitment of a new avionics suite, the latest generation CAE Medallion-6000 image generator (IG) with Open Geospatial Consortium Common Database (OGC CDB) architecture, and enhanced synthetic and tactical environment simulation software.

Upgraded simulators by CAE for the CH-47 also feature a new or refurbished six-degree-of-freedom motion system and the implementation of a digital automatic flight control system.

CAE Elektronik GmbH is presently also part of a group of German aerospace companies along with Boeing to offer the CH-47 Chinook for the heavy-lift helicopter competition in Germany. The Canadian firm will develop and support a range of aircrew training systems and services should the CH-47 Chinook helicopter be selected by the Government of Germany.

Kratos Awarded $3 Million+ Contract for Aviation Trainer Enhancements by Australia Department of Defence


SAN DIEGO (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that it was awarded a AUD $4,840,720.04 (approximately USD $3,300,000) contract by the Australia Department of Defence to deliver hardware, software and technical data package upgrades to their Kratos Maintenance Blended Reconfigurable Aviation Trainers (MBRATs) and CH-47F Chinook Avionics Trainer (CAT).

The CH-47F CAT is a High Fidelity Hands On Training System (HOTS) that provides full-task training through simulation of all avionics sub-systems and aircraft survivability equipment in an integrated configuration within a fully immersive physical environment. The CH-47F MBRAT blends a virtual immersive environment and spatial physical awareness with established CH-47F Chinook simulation software.

The enhanced MBRAT training capabilities enable the end user to increase student training throughput by enabling new training tasks to be performed on the upgraded MBRAT trainers and the CH-47F CAT simultaneously.

The CAT and MBRATs have enabled the Australian Department of Defence to establish a local CH-47F Chinook maintenance training center of excellence for the Australian military. Previously, maintenance training had been conducted in the United States, but with Kratos MBRATs and CAT the Australian Defence Force (ADF) is now self-sufficient in this regard.

“As the global demand for training continues to increase, Kratos is expanding its training footprint to support the demanding and complex training requirements of the U.S. and its allies worldwide by applying advanced technologies like those incorporated in the MBRAT and CAT,” said Jose Diaz, Senior Vice President of Kratos Training Solutions.

Kratos develops advanced, affordable training solutions for U.S. and allied forces that enhance learning retention and increase warfighter readiness. Kratos is driving innovation in military simulation and training programs by integrating the latest immersive technologies with its blended learning content and open architecture simulation systems for air, ground, maritime and soon space domains.

Ryan Aerospace Wins Australian Navy Contract for Multiple Helicopter Simulators Units

Deputy Commander Fleet Air Arm, Captain Grant O’Loughlan, Royal Australian Navy took possession of three Ryan Aerospace virtual reality helicopter simulators at an official handover ceremony at HMAS Albatross, Nowra, NSW Australia.

The three simulators will be used by the Fleet Air Arm’s Naval Aviation Prospects Scheme as an engagement tool to attract the interest of aspiring aircrew to join the Royal Australian Navy.

Captain O’Loughlan said that he was impressed with the new simulators and (coming from a helicopter background) somewhat surprised with how realistic they were. He added that it was important for the Australian Defence Force to support local entrepreneurial businesses such as Ryan Aerospace. He said these simulator units will be a valuable asset for Navy in supporting Defence Force recruiting.

Managing Director of Ryan Aerospace, Chris Ryan said he was “delighted to partner with the Navy to develop a bespoke system in conjunction with the highly popular HELIMOD Mark III product launched earlier this year”. The units take advantage of improved capability of virtual reality technology.




In addition to the HELIMOD Mark III helicopter simulator units, Ryan Aerospace developed a unique accompanying unit comprising a PC and monitor with integrated cabling and head-tracking sensors. This allows spectators to see on a display screen what the pilot is seeing in the virtual reality goggles. The display unit has wheels attached and doubles as a shipping crate by being laid down flat, with the HELIMOD device sitting right on top. This allows staff to push the devices easily to the purposely modified van for transportation.

The simulators have motion actuators attached to the base and link with the simulation software to provide an even more realistic experience.

It is expected that the simulators will be getting constant use as they travel around the country to various events including the International Air Show at Avalon in February.

The handover ceremony in Nowra earlier this week attracted some significant interest from Captain Fiona Sneath, Commanding Officer HMAS Albatross and Commanding Officers from Fleet Air Arm Squadrons.

Mr Ryan said that in a few weeks, Ryan Aerospace will be participating at the world’s largest military simulation and training event in Orlando, Florida and will be taking two devices. The HELIMOD Mark III has attracted a great deal of interest from another International Navy entity who will be participating in a trial program using the product in December.
