Total training

Inzpire (Stand S9-250) has announced that its Targeted Fidelity Simulator (TFS) has been upgraded with a number of capabilities, including higher-fidelity instruments and displays, and for the duration of DSEI will be in an Airbus Helicopters H135 configuration.

The simulator will be operating using Bohemia Interactive Simulations' Blue IG and VBS3 software, which will drive the visuals and generate the tactical training environment.

The TFS is due to be upgraded further with the addition of a rear cabin area, which will include a crew-served weapon and winch operator training capability that will utilise virtual reality headsets to provide the crew with full 360° views around the helicopter. This new whole crew helicopter demonstrator capability will be available to customers from the end of October 2019, and additionally, the TFS will soon be integrated with Pitch Technologies' Pitch Talk software, which will introduce a networked communications capability.

During DSEI, visitors will also be able to see the TFS' electrooptic and infrared sensor camera replication, which enables training in preparation for the use of cameras both in a military operational environment and for use on search and rescue or police helicopters. Additionally, the cockpit has now been optimised to fully integrate Inzpire's GECO mission support system.
