• Temperature and Barometric Pressure

The FTD IOS must have the capability to introduce malfunctions, failures and alerts into the simulation, including the following:

• Engine Failures/Malfunctions

• Hydraulic Failures/Malfunctions

• Electrical System Failures/Malfunctions

• Fuel System Failures/Malfunctions

• Cabin Environmental Failures/Malfunctions

The IOS must provide for control of the intensity of the above conditions. The FTD must display the visual effects of all environmental conditions in Out-The-Window (OTW) and NVG modes.

The FTD IOS must have the capability to introduce malfunctions, failures and alerts into the simulation, including the following:

• Engine Failures/Malfunctions

• Hydraulic Failures/Malfunctions

• Electrical System Failures/Malfunctions

• Fuel System Failures/Malfunctions

• Cabin Environmental Failures/Malfunctions

The FTD must provide Inter-Communications System (ICS) between stations and within the simulator and the IOS. The FTD must provide ICS between pilot, co-pilot, instructor, and FTD operator. The Flight Simulator must provide pilot and co-pilot approved headsets. The Contractor must integrate and verify that the radios are functioning correctly and communication is achieved according to aircraft radio settings.

The Image Generator (IG) must process the visual scene at minimum of 60Hz. The FTD IG must provide sufficient computing performance to support the maximum model load, maximum mission function request load, and maximum post processing effects load simultaneously, without any negative effect on frame rate, level of detail, or image quality in the simulation imagery generated by the system. Each image generator must be a dedicated, commercial or non-developmental PC computer equipped with one or more video cards capable of driving the visual system displays. Image generators must be based upon commercial or non-developmental products to facilitate maintenance, upgrade, and supportability. The visual scene content may not be distracting or present any perceptible flicker or anomalies.

The FTD must provide a continuous visual field-of-view of at least 146° horizontally and 36° vertically for both pilot and copilot seats, simultaneously.

The visual system must provide for a maximum parallax of 10° per pilot.

The visual system must provide for a minimum resolution of 5 arc-minutes for both computed and displayed pixel size.

The FTD IG must provide mission function capabilities enabling it to provide collision detection data for ownship and terrain in the visual scene. The FTD Image Generator must detect ownship collision with terrain or any other models.

The FTD must provide translucent discs for all rotating aircraft propellers and rotors.

The FTD must provide a translucent rotor disk for the ownship. The FTD must provide an interface to allow the Host to tilt the ownship rotor disk in response to ownship dynamics.

The visual effect of brownout conditions must be simulated for ownship. The FTD must provide an interface for the Host to control the intensity of the effect of blowing sand or water, including the capability to disable the effect. Brownout will correspond to underlying terrain properties. Partially to completely obscure crew scene from 50 AGL to 0 AGL over appropriate terrain areas, dependent on terrain type.

In conjunction with blowing sand, snow or water effects, the FTD must display an expanding concentric rotor wash on the ground or water below the ownship.

The contractor must provide a Geo-Typical Visual Terrain Databases (VDB) for training purposes with Training Areas. The visual database must include terrain elevation, main rivers/lakes, roads and railroads and other cultural features. The level of detail across the data base must be balanced and optimized to match the image generator capabilities.

The HUEY II FTD must provide aural cues to realistically simulate cockpit sounds that correspond to those heard in the aircraft sufficient to meet the training objectives.

The HUEY II FTD must include an Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) and power filters to ensure clean continuous power to the training system. The UPSs must provide up to 30 minutes of power for critical digital computational systems to allow for an orderly shutdown of the HUEY II FTD in the event of a power loss.
