Dimensions of CAPT-EVCS w/Dome

Highlights and Advantages:

  • Power requirement is standard U.S. electrical socket (120V)
  • Small footprint to accommodate existing structures (no MILCON or UMMC)
  • All simulator hardware is non-OEM parts, non-competitive with aircraft parts and manufactured by SGB.
  • Aircraft Avionics Procedural Software (AAPS) is Army owned and Modular Open System Approach (MOSA) compliant software
  • No requirement to go through OEM for updates. AAPS is concurrent w/aircraft
  • AAPS MOSA approach integrates Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE) Augmented Reality Mission Observation and Rehearsal (AROMR). Same software being issued to all Army aviation Aircraft Mission Survivability Officers (AMSOs)
  • CAPT-EVCS is equipped with motion cueing seats to enable proprioceptive feedback
  • Visual system allows for traditional dome visuals to enable integration of HGU-56 helmet or switch to Head Mounted Display (HMD) to allow for unrestricted FOV, fully immersive
  • Capable of supporting all modes of flight (D/N/NG/W/H)
  • Varjo XR-4 HMD is set-up for Extended Reality (XR). Multi-Functional Displays (MFDs) have the same screen with the HMD (no-blank screens). Cut-away areas to see pilot/co-pilot hands
  • Accredited to log flight time in CAFRS now. ARNG can pay RCMs Additional Flight Training Periods (AFTPs)
  • Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) in existing configuration (instructor pilot module loaded in CAPT-EVCS at AVCOE). Can expand AI capability
  • Costs associated with CAPT-EVCS (procurement, warranty, and sustainment) are 80% cheaper than legacy simulators.
  • Device can be Government Owned Government Operated (GOGO) + Contract Logistical Support (CLS) to decrease costs or scaled up to Contract Owned Contract Operated (COCO)
  • Operating cost is a fraction of legacy simulators. 1xCAPT-EVCS ~$84K/year at 3,000 hours utilization compared to 1xBAT ~$1.1M/year at 1,920 hours utilization
  • CH-47F CAPT-EVCS built, tested, and ready for accreditation!
