Abstract:

In support of the KC-135 Avionics Modemization Program, a two-person no-nav conceptual cockpit design was developed for use in the man-in-the-loop simulation feasibility demonstration. This report is Volume 2 of a 3-volume technical report. The report covers the background, rationale, and process used in developing the Crew Station Evaluation Facilitys two-person no nav conceptual cockpit design. A total of six subsystems were either added to or replaced older archaic systems. These systems included 1 Remote Readout Unit RRU, 2 Electronic Attitude Director Indicator EADI, 3 Electronic Heading Situation Indicator EHSI, 4 Control Display Unit CDU, 5 Color weather radar, and 6 Warnings and Cautions Advisory Panel WCA. A detailed description is provided for each piece of new equipment subsystem. Recommendations of the functional requirements determined from the feasibility demonstration Volume 3 are also discussed. Electronic Attitude Director Indicator EADI, Electronic Heading Situation Indicator EHSI, Control Display Unit CDU.
