Simulation of aircraft avionics to provide the fidelity necessary to effectively train aircrews is a complex and difficult task.  This is particularly true for the Apache attack helicopter. The Apache is arguably one of the most complex aircraft to simulate. This is due to its complex avionics, sensor, weapon, navigation capabilities.  Stimulation vs Emulation Traditionally,…

Construction can be a difficult and dangerous job to complete. It requires the use of heavy, expensive equipment which should only be operated by trained professionals. These professionals could practice using the equipment itself, but this would likely elicit unneeded expenses for repairs, difficulties in training, and injury. As trainees use operational equipment for training,…

Our team members here at AVT Simulation are very knowledgeable in the field of simulation, we have given them the ability to be able to have their voices be heard here on our website. This article is written by a new intern Michael Dooley here at AVT Simulation. Do you want to work with us?…

What is Magic Leap? Magic leap is a wearable spatial computer, that uses augmented and mixed reality to allow the user to combine the real and virtual worlds. It has a myriad of practical uses for both personal and professional means. AVT Simulation is gaining a better understanding of its seemingly limitless possibilities. Hardware Lightpack…

Walt Chambers, AVT Simulation’s Head Scientist explains in a snippet of what it is like to take the AVT Simulation Training Center class, AVT 101: Simulation Overview what a motion platform is. Motion Systems The motion systems provide movement and forces on the vehicle operator. This gives feedback on how the vehicle is responding to…

What is a Visual System? A Visual System provides the Out-the-Window (OTW) visual scene for the simulated vehicle operator. How does Visual System work? There are 3 major parts. Want to learn more about the Visual System for Simulation? In AVT 101: Simulation Overview and AVT 202: Visual Simulation you will learn the basics of…

What is I/ITSEC? The Interservice/ Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) is the world’s largest modeling, simulation, and training event. Held near the beginning of December in Orlando, Florida, USA, I/ITSEC consists of peer-reviewed paper presentations, tutorials, special events, professional workshops, a commercial exhibit hall, a serious games competition, and STEM events for teachers…

The History of Walt Chambers Since he entered the simulation and technology field in 1961, Walt Chambers has continuously pushed forth new advancements and innovative ideas for not only AVT Simulation but for the entire simulation community as a whole. After earning a Bachelor of Science Engineering degree at Marshall University, Walt continued his studies…

Simulation is a major part of everyday training in the military now, with the different kinds of simulators available; anything can be possible. Even though Augmented and Virtual reality is just now making their footprint in the simulator world, it is now on the come up for being some of the most widely used displays…
