R&D case: Competency-based maintenance training

Development of maintenance training as a result of changed regulations The challenge The development of the European Military Aviation Regulations (EMAR) resulted in changes in the Dutch military aviation regulations. The content and levels of the maintenance type training for the F-16, AH-64D, CH-47D/F and the NH-90NFH therefore needed to be updated. Moreover, the training […]

R&D case: Augmented reality for maintenance training

Problem-based training with increased trainee activity The challenge KLM expressed the need for more innovative training media to modernize and improve maintenance training. The solution The result of the project is a modernised, problem-based maintenance training design that enhances understanding of the systems and system interaction. This design comprises less traditional instruction and more trainee […]

R&D case: NH-90 Full Mission Flight Trainer Evaluation

Evaluation of NH-90 simulation device compliance The challenge The purpose is to perform evaluations of the compliance of the NH-90 simulation devices with their respective regulations and/or standards. The NH-90 simulation can be split into two separate devices that can be used separately for specific crew training and combined for full mission flight training. The […]

R&D case: Smart Bandits decision making module

Intelligent opponents in mission simulation The challenge In military simulations, computer-generated forces (CGFs) are autonomous entities that represent friendly, neutral or hostile air, ground surface, or subsurface-based units, platforms or individuals. The behaviour that CGFs display in the simulations is modelled to resemble realistic human behaviour. CGFs are typically used in application areas such as […]

R&D case: Virtual Cockpit training demonstrator

Low-cost and high-fidelity training technology The challenge Training devices that fit your training needs often require large investments and are usually type -specific. There are currently no training devices that allow highly realistic interaction between the pilot and cockpit instruments, without the disadvantages associated with expensive high-end devices. The Virtual Cockpit bridges this gap by […]

R&D case: Multi-Ship Multi-Type helicopter simulation training

Acquisition and Deployment Support. The challenge The RNLAF is currently acquiring and deploying a unique multi-ship multi-type (MSMT) helicopter simulation training capability to support the fight, tactical and whole-task mission training of CH-47F and AH-64E crews at all operational levels. The MSMT capability will incorporate a large number of high-end simulation training devices, a tactical […]

R&D case: Flexible and scalable future training

The challenge The PC-7 training aircraft of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) needs to be replaced. A Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and Training Media Analysis (TMA) were therefore done, aiming to provide a solution for the replacement of the entire initial training capacity. This training capacity needs to be flexible and scalable to meet […]
