A manned or unmanned helicopter-ship qualification program (Dynamic Interface Testing) evaluates, improves, and/or develops all aspects of shipboard helicopter compatibility. Issues addressed during a test may include the adequacy,effectiveness, and safety of shipboard aviation support facilities and helicopter recovery procedures. Manned and unmanned aircraft share a number of common issues as those related to deck handling, repositioning, tie down, refueling and maintenance tasks. Procedures are further affected by the ability ...
Validation results are discussed and compared in confirming the tendency of certain parameters being well represented by simulation with the actual at-sea result. The primary objective of this field of study is to determine the feasibility of applying full motion simulators and plug and play simulations in support of dynamic interface at-sea testing and experimentation. Several years of simulated flight test programs using the Merlin CAE Trainer System at RNAS ...
