4.16 Flight Simulation Support. The contractor shall support flight simulation efforts. The contractor shall perform the following work:

a. Perform engineering analysis and planning, preliminary design, design evaluation, design review, and test and validation of flight simulation systems.

b. Establish training system performance requirements in terms of kinematic and aerodynamic modeling methods from both engineering design and software implementation aspects, computer hardware capabilities, design data and validation criteria data issues, debugging and validation test methodologies, and kinesthetic and tactile pilot/operator cueing systems such as motion platforms and control loading systems.

c. Perform studies, detailed analysis, literature searches, and exploratory projects to identify solutions to specific critical problems when existing technology cannot provide a satisfactory solution or where technical or training risk is unusually high.

d. Provide consultation and engineering analysis to support Government planning for future flight simulation systems. Provide specific recommendations on technical approach based on extrapolations of future capabilities in flight simulation.

e. Perform engineering analysis of relationships between flight simulation, pilot feel and motion cueing, visual simulation, and other simulation areas to establish critical performance parameters for all elements of the system affecting integration of the system.

f. Provide consultation and training for other Government flight simulation specialists.

g. Develop corrections or originate replacements to trainer math models, participate in software/hardware modification efforts relating to flight simulation, and provide CSS during the test effort to validate these modifications.

h. Develop, evaluate, and refine new flight fidelity test methods and data analysis techniques.

i. Conduct analyses of available data on aircraft performance, flying qualities, and flight systems operation to…
