PC IG Training Tasks

An Integrated Lyra Image Generation system offered via Presagis Technical Services supports a broad array of training tasks from ground/dismounted, maritime environments, and fast-jet to helicopter flight mission profiles and envelopes.

Presagis leverages commodity graphics processor technologies with extensive shader-based algorithms in order to offer unparalleled scene realism. This allows a trainee to focus on the execution of training tasks with real-world stresses, including visual acquisition in sun glint or glare, nap-of-earth flight with dense vertical obstructions, or foul-weather flight conditions.

Search and Rescue

  • Highly realistic effects of sun glare into a training scene to stress visual target acquisition
  • In maritime simulation, wave height cues for a pilot's visual assessment of altitude, drift/speed
  • Real ocean models to convey cues even if 3D representation is not activated
  • Search lights accurately depicted for control and cone of visibility

Hover and Landing Training

  • For confined area landings, dynamic foliage gives real-world artificial drift cues in hover and landing
  • Brown-out can be simulated, requiring the correct forward motion to preclude the ship being enveloped by dust, and can be configured for single and dual rotor systems, ship size and rotor envelope, and ground surface particulate characteristics

Shipboard \ Near-Ship Operations

  • High fidelity human character representation for foreground character requirements
  • Lighting systems and atmospheric simulation of attenuation / halo effects
  • Water reflections of lighting systems that provide false cues.
  • Hulk and light reflections that provide both positive and real-world misleading cues

Aerial Refuelling Tasks

  • Detail on near-field tanker to aid in closure and drift cues
  • Self shadows and thrown-shadows are critical for presenting the challenge of varying visibility for approaching refueling on tanker structures and refueling apparatus and also for giving depth cues for a tanker boom operator on approaching refueling aircraft
  • Introduce the highly realistic effects of sun glare into the training scene to stress tanker acquisition as well as boom operator target acquisition from background glare 

Formation Flight Tasks

  • Highly realistic effects of sun glare into the training scene to stress lead ship acquisition and formation flight
  • Detail on near-field models for subtle closure and drift cues

Ground Vehicle

  • Correlated urban buildings with interiors from the class-leading Creator modeling tool
  • High fidelity scene effects for sun glare adding real-world stresses for visual tasks
  • Configurable scene obscurants and near-field special effects providing realism impact

Sensors

  • Easily characterize real-world weapons systems with post-aperture effects
  • Gast-mode switching between visual, day-TV, EO and simulated sensor (IR and NV)
  • Simple system controls of camera/weapons systems via the CIGI open IG control interface

UAV Training

  • Realistic air vehicle and payload (camera) control functions
  • Air vehicle and datalink simulation
  • Accurate UAV sensor simulation
