WASHINGTON \u2015 The U.S. Navy has selected Bohemia Interactive Simulations to develop new augmented and virtual reality technologies to train aircrews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BISim has been tasked to provide a T-45<\/a> simulator cockpit that immerses trainees in a high-fidelity virtual environment. In addition, two T-45 virtual reality part-task trainers will be developed to supplement existing virtual and live training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The software will grant pilots a 360-degree field of view and recreate the crew station, avionics and flight dynamics of the T-45. The proposed interface will allow pilots to flip switches, turn knobs and interact with cockpit displays as would be done in the real trainer. The goal of the product is to support basic flight and cockpit familiarization, carrier operations and basic fighting maneuvers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that could mean big savings. <\/p>\n\n\n\t
