BM024 - TSI Brochure Entry Spread Trim size: 8.2677” x 11.6929” (A4) Bleed: 0.125” Helicopter Aircrew Training Partner of Choice Helicopter pilots today are operating highly specialized, complex helicopters for an array of missions, including attack, tactical support, troop transport, search and rescue, reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare and more. The changing nature of warfare over challenging terrain and in demanding environments, combined with humanitarian support requirements, has made the flexibility of helicopters even more important for military forces. Simulating rotary wing aircraft and designing a training program to meet training objectives is a major challenge. Helicopters maintain some unique characteristics in areas such as aerodynamics and vibration that make high-fidelity simulation a difficult task. The varied operational uses of the helicopter combined with specialized technical challenges place unique demands on helicopter training and simulation. CAE is the ideal partner for all training and mission rehearsal needs of today’s helicopter aircrews. From entry-level training devices to the networking of advanced multi-mission helicopter simulators operating in an interactive threat environment, CAE has earned a reputation as the leader in delivering helicopter aircrew training. We provide innovative simulation products and comprehensive training services to help prepare helicopter aircrews for their demanding missions. In fact, no other company has designed training systems for a greater variety of rotary wing platforms.

Our focus on training, simulation, and mission for helicopter training. The CAE Medallion-6000XR is rehearsal, as well as the skill and imagination of our the latest member of CAE's powerful Medallion image people, has helped us pioneer many of the innovations generator family and was developed with full support related to helicopter simulation over the past several for the Open Geospatial Consortium Common Database decades. Our technology leadership is evidenced in the (OGC CDB). The CAE Medallion-6000XR delivers following areas. exceptional image quality and scene density particularly important for low-level helicopter simulation-based training. Blade Element Rotor Model CAE’s Blade Element Rotor Model (BERM) is the basis for modeling the blade aerodynamic characteristics of all helicopters. The BERM models the complex airflow around the rotating airfoils and accurately simulates the blade hinge and hub articulation, as well as all of the power-drive linkages. In addition, the accurate simulation of blade malfunctions is a fundamental and integral part of the BERM. Vibration Platform When accurately stimulated, vibrations combine with visual and sound system cues to ensure that the aircrew develops proper control strategies while experiencing representative workloads. Vibrations in helicopters, in addition to creating a harsh operating environment, provide the aircrew with rotor dynamic feedback critical to their ability to control the aircraft. CAE’s high performance 3-DOF (degree-of-freedom) vibration platform, installed under the cockpit, subjects Who is the leading the entire cockpit to vibration cues that are validated provider of high- with actual helicopter recorded data. In addition, on our fixed-based devices our revolutionary dynamic seat for fidelity helicopter vibration and motion cueing delivers maximum realism training systems of the training experience. and services? Visual Systems We are. CAE offers extreme field-of-view display systems and powerful image generators to create a realistic and immersive out-the-window virtual environment critical 4 Open Geospatial Consortium the interaction of the helicopter’s tires and landing gear with the ground must be accurately simulated. CAE has Common Database (OGC CDB) developed advanced ground handling models that faithfully simulate the helicopter’s on-ground directional The Common Database (CDB), a CAE-led development, stability and control characteristics. is designed to significantly reduce the timeline it takes to get a fully correlated database in operation within a range of training and mission rehearsal systems. Correlation of multiple databases in varying formats has been one of the major obstacles facing military forces wanting to practice and rehearse missions in simulation. The CDB architecture effectively removes this obstacle by allowing all users, or “clients,” of the data required to access the information from a common database source and do so in real-time. These clients include not only the out-the-window visual scene in a simulator, but also other systems in the simulator requiring data, such as sensors, computer-generated forces, and communications systems. Since the completion of the original contracts under which the CDB was developed, the CDB specification has been maintained and updated by an industry-led board. In September 2016, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®) an independent, international consensus- based standards development organization, formally Roll-On/Roll-Off Cockpits approved the CDB as a standard and it is now referred to as the OGC CDB. The adoption of the CDB as an OGC CAE pioneered the development of a full-mission standard brings together the geospatial intelligence and helicopter simulator with a revolutionary roll-on/ modelling and simulation industries to establish greater roll-off cockpit design, which enables cockpits interoperability in the use of geospatial data. representing various helicopter types to be used in a “mothership”. The mothership simulator platform will include a common motion system (six degree-of- freedom), vibration platform, and visual display system.
