Applications

The modern TFO has a big workload. He needs to monitor all of the radio’s, guide ground officers to targets, control his gimbal, while trying to “read” the images provided by the gimbal system. It takes a lot of experience before a new TFO can do his job with the skill level of a professional. As the equipment has become more and more complicated, the gimbal controller has become a multi-button minicomputer and is complicated to use. Taking your eyes off the target on the screen to watch the buttons on your controller can cause a loss of the target.

Only training can get the skill level of the TFO to that of a professional. Training flights in the actual vehicle are very expensive. Training during operational flights can lead to bad results. That is why AeroSimulators developed the GIST. The GIST is a low-cost trainer for gimbal operators, It allows TFO’s to train on the ground and become proficient with their controllers. When using the GIST Pilot Station, the TFO and Pilot can train their Crew Resource Management (CRM) techniques. Combined with the GIST InfraRed (IR) Sensor model, TFO’s can learn to read IR sensor images. Several operational scenarios were developed by active TFO’s in order to make the AeroSimulators GIST the BEST training tool for TFO’s on the market today.

With asymmetric threats growing worldwide, force protection is more important now than ever before. Armed forces have an increasing number of sensors monitoring their assets worldwide. More and more soldiers are working with gimbals in order to protect their colleagues.

AeroSimulators developed the perfect training tool for the military gimbal operator. Custom made scenarios keep the operators up-to-date with their newest technology so they can use all their skills to serve and protect. In addition to several effective training scenarios already included with the GIST, AeroSimulators can help you develop your own custom scenarios. Whether searching for tanks in a desert, or monitoring and protecting a VIP in an urban area, we can customize the GIST to the way you need to train.

Search And Rescue (SAR) operations are employing an increasing number of IR gimbals to help them with their search for missing persons . Most of the time, it is a matter of life and death that they find the missing person quickly. Whether in the wilderness, on the water, or in the desert, different search techniques are employed by the professional gimbal operator for each area of operation.

Improve the skill level of your crews with on the ground training using the GIST. We have developed several scenarios for SAR. One involves the simulation of a target disappearing in high waves during a water search. Another demonstrates a man missing in the desert that is nearly invisible to IR sensor due to the heat of the sun . Your crews can save more lives thanks to the intense and comprehensive training provided by the GIST.

CRM training encompasses a wide range of knowledge, skills and attitudes including communications, situational awareness, problem solving, decision making, and teamwork; together with all the attendant sub-disciplines which each of these areas entails. CRM can be defined as a management system which makes optimum use of all available resources - equipment, procedures and people - to promote safety and enhance the efficiency of flight operations.

Aerosimulators’ GIST gives a complete trainingsolution for operators on a wide range of imaging systems as well as integrated moving map displays. It may be used for standalone TFO (tactical flight officer) training or integrated into a helicopter or fixed wing flight simulator to provide full crew resource management training that typically includes the tactical flight officer as well as the pilot in a simulated flight environment.

More and more #1 TV stations use stabilized broadcast camera systems for their live coverage in order to deliver the highest quality aerial footage possible. Making these images requires great skills of the cameramen . Taking out the helicopter for training is very expensive so ground training is a necessity .

AeroSimulators developed the perfect training tool for the commercial broadcast camera operator. Custom made scenarios keep the operators up-to-date with their newest technology so they can use all their skills to make the beauty shots they want . AeroSimulators can help you develop your own custom scenarios. Whether you want to film wildlife, cities, sports, we can develop a scenario for training.

In modern times, UAV's are used in a number of military roles, including reconnaissance and attack. They are also used in a small but growing number of civil applications such as firefighting when a human observer would be at risk, police observation of civil disturbances and crime scenes, and reconnaissance support in natural disasters. UAV's are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty, or dangerous" for manned aircraft. UAV remote sensing functions include electromagnetic spectrum sensors, biological sensors, and chemical sensors. A UAV's electromagnetic sensors typically include visual spectrum, infrared, or near infrared cameras as well as radar systems. Other electromagnetic wave detectors such as microwave and ultraviolet spectrum sensors may also be used.

Aerosimulators’ GIST gives a complete training for UAV special operations sensor operators on a wide range of imaging systems. We rebuild the UAV flight control systems and video control systems so the pilots and operators can train as near as possible to “real-time” action.

VOSS stands for Vehicle Optics Sensor Systems for Mine Protecting vehicles . More and more used by the military to scan the roads for route clearance and explosive ordnance diposal operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In order to reduce maintenance cost, increase reliability of line detection and speed up industrialization, more and more helicopters with IR cameras are used to check the state of the solid dielectric insulation of High Voltage Wires . The IR image allows analysis to determinate if there is damage and the severity. Infrared locates heat sources, heat is produced during current flow (arcing is current flow, arcing usually occurs at failure), problems detectable with infrared are when the spot temperatures exceed the overall normal surface temperature.

AeroSimulators developed the perfect training tool for operator . Custom made scenarios keep the operators up-to-date with their newest technology so they can use all their skills to detect faulty dielectric insulation. In addition to several effective training scenarios already included with the GIST, AeroSimulators can help you develop your own custom scenarios.

Pipeline companies need real-time information to manage their energy transfer systems. Right-of-way encroachment and identifying transmission lines that need repair before they fail is easily accomplished for the aerial inspection platform that has no equal: a helicopter.
