Unmanned Combat Aircraft Mission Control Station Simulation Study

The Uninhabited Combat Air Vehicles is an advanced air weapon system that developed rapidly in the last several years. The task control station is the control and manage center of UCAV. Thus the research of simulate technology about UCAV task control station take a very important place in the UCAV research. The topic of this paper is come from the Nation Defense 973 project of "UCAV foundational technology research: The foundational technology research on human factor and intelligent interface of human-computer."First, after analyzing the functional requirement and task partition of the UCAV task control station, the hierarchy of UCAV operating peoples , the relative task and operate criterion of different level operators are been confirmed. At the same time ,the reasonable human-computer interfaces are designed separately for the virtual pilot , the task commander and battle commander.Second, Using the VR and DIS technology, this paper designed and completed the UCAV virtual cockpit simulation system, and solved several problems on avionic display simulation, vision simulation and the communication mode of the network.In this paper, a 3-dimension view model (including terrain, scene and objects) is founded using the real-time modeling tool, MultiGen Creator, and the model is drove by using the Paradigm Vega tool.The real-time simulations are carried out at the end of this paper. As the result, the reality of the virtual cockpit simulation system is satisfying.
