Visual Systems Acquisitions:

The 8-koi team will support these efforts by performing the following work:

a. Provide technical oversight of visual and sensor simulation system design, development, analysis, and test and evaluation for aviation training systems.

b. Perform preliminary engineering analysis to define simulation system requirements to meet the stated training task. This function includes providing CSS for training system and training requirements issues.

c. Define preliminary design trade-offs to provide the optimum balance of performance and cost. Establish criteria by which the optimum is judged.

d. Prepare inputs to engineering specifications and SOW inputs for visual and sensor simulation systems design.

e. Ensure the application of sound principles of human factors and human-machine interface design to the visual/sensor simulation system design.

f. Evaluate training system contractor’s proposed visual system designs relative to their technical risk and ability to meet the stated performance requirements and training objectives and for compliance with contract technical requirements.

g. Evaluate training system contractor’s test plans and detailed test procedures to determine that tests adequately verify performance to visual system specification requirements.

h. Advise training system project engineer, project manager, and integrated project team members concerning visual system design alternatives.

i. Define synthetic natural environment content requirements and advise project team on alternatives to achieve training effective visual cues in the environment model.

j. Test and evaluate the training system to establish compliance with contract technical requirements for the visual system.

k. Determine remedial actions required to achieve required levels of performance for the visual system.

l. Provide support the system acquisition team in solving problems that arise in applying delivered visual systems to the training situation.

m. Provide consultation and engineering analysis services to support Government planning for future visual simulation systems. Provide specific recommendations on technical approach

based on extrapolations of future capabilities in visual/sensor simulation. Identify training system deficiencies due to inadequate visual/sensor simulation technology.

n. Provide technical support for the visual sub-system to ensure successful integration of the complete training system. Perform engineering analysis of relationships between visual/sensor simulation and vehicle dynamics simulation; crew station motion simulation; and the instructional system components of the training system to establish critical performance parameters for all components of the system affecting integration of the system.

o. Maintain technological base in state-of-the-art image synthetic environment generation, image generation, and display techniques, and ensure application of the best technology to Government training systems.
