Highly interoperable simulator for training and instruction of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems
OBJECTIVE OF THE ACTION:
The SIMSART project, “Highly Interoperable Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Training and Instruction Simulator,” will develop a new generation of unmanned vehicle simulators to meet the future training needs of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) operators, in line with the integration of these aircraft into the common airspace. SIMSART will enable ab-initio training, type certification, and recurrent training for RPAS pilots in accordance with future regulations currently being developed by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
MAIN OBJECTIVES:
The fundamental objectives of the project are the following:
- Develop a versatile training and coaching simulator.
- Interoperable and integrable into any ground control station (GCS).
- Designed to meet the future training needs of RPAS operators
- In line with the integration of these aircraft into the common airspace.
