MAINTENANCE TRAINER
®
Innovative, flexible desktop platform can meet multiple
training requirements
AAI Corporation is known for its expertise in aircraft maintenance training platforms. The
company’s trainers for the C-17 Globemaster III® and F-22 Raptor ® have enabled countless
students to live the mission in a high-fidelity environment. AAI was selected to provide the
Aircraft Systems Maintenance Trainer (ASMT) for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike
Fighter. It builds on AAI’s history of training successes with enhanced graphics and greater
detail, as well as a flexible architecture that can be tailored easily to accommodate other
training requirements.
HIGH-FIDELITY DESKTOP TRAINING & ADAPTABLE ARCHITECTURE
AAI was selected to provide the ASMT for the Lockheed Martin
F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The company’s decades of experience in
designing, manufacturing and servicing training devices came
together into a flexible, high-fidelity desktop platform that can be
tailored for training on how to operate and maintain any device.
Selected for one of the largest fighter jet programs in
the world, AAI’s ASMT delivers powerful training
capability in a highly realistic simulated environment —
right from the student’s desktop.
Efficient instructional tools allow the
instructor to monitor the details of
each student’s progress.
The instructor can monitor
student displays, and is alerted
if student performance does
not meet expectations.
Features and Benefits
■
Highly detailed, interactive 3-D virtual aircraft provides familiarity
and teaches component localization, remove and install, and
fault isolation.
■
The sophisticated ASMT instructor operator station allows the
instructor to effectively monitor a large number of students,
increasing training throughput and quality.
■
Physics-based modeling approach ensures high-fidelity,
realistic student/vehicle interaction and encourages free-play
aircraft exploration.
■
Student performance monitoring and control reduce the
instructor’s workload, providing alerts when student actions
indicate that assistance is required.
■
The ASMT interfaces with the flight line F-35 portable maintenance aid, or PMA. This teaches students to interact with the
virtual aircraft and access the maintenance technical data and
procedures of the F-35 autonomic logistics information system,
or ALIS.
■
Student evaluation algorithms score performance based on
criteria established in the graphically depicted scenario script.
■
Full-featured playback and after-action review allow the instructor
to replay the recorded student actions, show the student where
mistakes were made, then let the student complete the training
scenario.
■
Instructional tools including video repeat and intercom allow
the instructor to view and interact with the student scenario,
passively monitoring the student or taking control of the student
system for mentoring.
■
■
Full integration with DiSTI 2-D and 3-D vehicle and panel
modeling provides a highly realistic, interactive and efficient
training experience.
AAI’s modular system architecture easily keeps the simulation
concurrent with the aircraft block configuration.
