Abstract:

This report documents the engineering modifications made to the Advanced Simulator for Pilot Training ASPT to expand its capability to include aerial refueling simulation. These modifications include the generation of a number of KC-135 tanker models in various levels of image detail, refueling boom, and director lights. The existing variableslewable field-of-view program was modified to generate multiple window configurations. The on-line programs were amended to provide boom dynamics, operational director lights, and tanker flow field effects. Performance measurement techniques and a dynamic graphics display were programmed to provide an adequate means of assessing and monitoring pilot performance. Author
