Provider of Simulation and Training Solutions, AMST, Uses blackshark.ai Technology to Advance High-G Training 

In a significant collaboration, AMST and blackshark.ai came together to work on a human centrifuge project, specially constructed by AMST for an undisclosed client. This collaboration marked a step forward in the realm of flight simulation technology.  

 A human centrifuge is designed to simulate the high-speed, high-G conditions experienced by fighter pilots. This device is critical in preparing pilots for the physical and psychological demands of high-G maneuvers, offering a safe yet realistic training environment.  

AMST human centrifuges offer the Dynamic Flight Simulation (DFS) training mode. DFS allows pilots to experience and adapt to the intense forces and conditions they will encounter in actual flight, improving their reaction times, decision-making skills, and overall flight performance. 

At the core of the DFS is AMST’s own VISIM IG Image Generator, which provides an exceptionally realistic out-the-window view. Its advanced physically based rendering capabilities produce high-quality lights, shadows, and reflections, and it supports sensor modes like Infrared, enhancing the realism of the simulation.  

The project aimed to quickly create a detailed 3D model of a specific geographic region for inclusion in VISIM IG. This detailed model was essential for providing a realistic and immersive environment in the DFS within the centrifuge.  

 AMST’s skills in aerospace simulation combined with blackshark.ai’s expertise in creating 3D models using artificial intelligence significantly improved VISIM IG capabilities. Together, the two companies developed a high-quality, independent training environment that does not require a network connection. The environment was smoothly integrated into AMST’s VISIM IG with a Software Development Kit (SDK).  

The integration of blackshark.ai’s technology into AMST’s VISIM IG not only enhanced its realism and performance but also showcased blackshark.ai’s adaptability and innovation in AI-driven simulation solutions.  

Looking ahead, this collaboration opens up the possibility of rapidly providing detailed models for different areas in AMST’s VISIM IG. This capability is crucial for AMST’s extensive range of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) and could be beneficial for other simulator manufacturers. 

About AMST  

For over 40 years, AMST has been a leader in simulation and aerospace medicine. They specialize in a wide array of technologies, from human centrifuges to immersive full-flight simulators equipped with their cutting-edge VISIM Image Generator. AMST’s commitment to innovation is evident in its comprehensive product range, which includes solutions designed to realistically simulate extreme flight conditions. Their dedication extends to providing a full-service package, ensuring ongoing support and expertise across the lifecycle of their products. 

About blackshark.ai

L3Harris’ Head of Digital Learning Highlights Benefits of SimU – New eLearning Platform for Simulator Maintenance Training

L3Harris’s Head of Digital Learning, David Harding shared information on the exciting features of L3Harris’ brand-new platform, SimU, and how it revolutionizes the way simulator engineers/technicians train.

  • SimU: A new eLearning platform for simulator maintenance training
  • Features: SimU offers a blended in-person and eLearning package, featuring instructor-led walk-throughs and in-situ shots of real equipment. It also provides flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and individualized learning experience for customers.
  • Motivation: SimU is driven by the need to deliver training effectively in a post-Covid world, where travel restrictions, skill gaps, and digitalization are major challenges for the simulator industry.
  • Future Plans: SimU will initially cover the Airbus A320, and will expand to other aircraft types and additional content.

On what are the benefits of SimU, Mr Harding shared;

“We recognise the cost of training to organisations. Now the pilot training industry is restabilizing, the demand for training our simulator technicians has also increased, which comes at a cost. SimU offers flexibility in when we chose to train. This means you can schedule training outside of key operational times, or technicians can work and train simultaneously!

From a demographic angle, SimU recognises the way people learn by digitalizing their experience. It’s important to realise that people, particularly the younger generation, are more inclined to be mobile orientated and turn to interactive video content when they want to learn something new. We’ve seen this digital experience adopted across several industries, and we wanted to expand that use of a learning management system (LMS) to cover simulator and flight device maintenance training, giving our customers their independence.

SimU will deliver even better-quality training but at a reduced burden to our customers. With traditional training, eight people would have to be released for a considerable number of days, resulting in simulator operations being impacted and additional staffing costs. Essentially, SimU aims to prevent all these impacts.

One of, if not the most valuable elements of SimU is that it is an individual experience instead of a one size fits all exercise. Students can access a huge amount of learning content instantly, train at their own pace and revisit challenging modules that inexperienced technicians may have found difficult in a traditional classroom setting.”
