Project Presentation

GAIA is a European project labelled by Aerospace Valley. The project, which began in July 2007 and will last 3 and a half years, plans the development of an interoperability platform between different aeronautic and air traffic control simulation methods.

Customer Requirements

This project aims to provide a collaborative platform for the global aeronautic simulation system for industrialists and research centres implied in important national and European projects like SESAR.

Main Features

OKTAL is participating in developing the interfaces that will enable the major actors  (AIRBUS, DSNA, ENAC, THALES) to connect to the GAIA platform.

Special Features

The acquired experience in developing training systems for air traffic controllers (Scansim products www.scansim.com) makes OKTAL one of the major actors in the elaboration of the aeronautic simulation system operability platform. OKTAL has, in particular, the leadership in developing:

• the interfaces that will enable the different central characters to connect to GAIA,
• the scenario definition tool.

Project Presentation

This project is being developed for AIRBUS. Within a partnership, OKTAL has been developing the FWC simulation packages since the beginning of 2007.

Customer Requirements

AIRBUS is marketing FWC Training packages that OKTAL is in charge of developing. The FWC Engineering packages enabling AIRBUS to validate the future aircraft standards are also made by OKTAL.

Main Features

OKTAL has installed a production process to carry out the development and tests of the different FWC packages.

Special Features

OKTAL produces the different simulation packages by using the V cycle development process. From the phase when the data from AIRBUS arrives and is analysed, through to the phase of  documentation and different software component delivery, OKTAL uses a rigorous process, which was originally established by AIRBUS, to go through each stage of the development cycle without risk.

Project Presentation

HEP is a multiplatform «Enemy/Friendly Helicopter » simulator that has been developed for the Flight Test Centre (CEV) in Istres.

Customer Requirements

The CEV is the state organisation in charge of the capacitation of all civil or military aircraft in service on the French territory.
The HEP simulator is for:

• The implementation of tactical scenarios,
• Training test engineers,
• The operational validation of intra-patrol or inter-patrol plane communication,
• IHS ergonomic research for new standards

Main Features

The HEP enables several helicopters (TIGRE, GAZELLE and PUMA) to be simulated via a generic cab, a cockpit and a control panel with tactile LCD screens. The pilot and co-pilot commands are reproduced and the azimuthal control is coupled to a force-feedback system.

Two virtual reality helmets coupled to position captors enable the pilots and co-pilots to simulate the visual methods IR, NVG or spotting scopes.

The visual uses a real 3D database covering 26 square degrees.

 

Special Features

The main advantages of the HEP are:

• Its reconfiguration capacity: the HEP can simulate 3 carriers and their instruments, controls and SNA.
• Its interoperability: the HEP has its own tactical environment server that communicates with other tactical environments or simulators by means of DIS and/or HLA.

Project Presentation

For customer support, the Snecma Services Training Centre (maintenance, repairs and support for aircraft engines) is integrating this software for engine training.

Customer Requirements

OKTAL has designed this training management tool for developing the skills required for engine maintenance:

Main Features

In connection with work on the SaM146 engine which will equip the future Sukhoi Superjet 100, OKTAL is developing training modules and teachware assistance necessary for teaching the required skills.

Special Features

The SaM146 has a modern architecture based on the experience of the CFM56 – the most reliable and the least expensive engine. The lessons are initially designed for test centres and first users.

Project Presentation

OKTAL has upgraded the Mirage 2000 D/N simulation platform at the Flight Trial Centre (CEV) in Istres, France.
