Indra Develops VR-based Simulation System That Cuts Pilot Training Time

Arun Sivasankaran - : Jul 8, 2021 - : 12:03 pm

Indra has developed the SIMCUI, a multi-purpose and inter-operable simulation system that the company claims can halve the time required to train a civilian or military pilot of any type of plane, whether it be a fixed-wing, rotary-wing or remotely-piloted aircraft.

The solution also incorporates Artificial Intelligence algorithms to measure the performance of each of the pilots and analyze their strengths and any room for improvement. The development of this system uses flight models fully adapted to the needs and degree of realism required by each customer, whether it be a small flight academy, an airline or an entire air force.

SIMCUI currently has 18 simplified models ranging from a Boeing 737 and the F18 fighter jet to Beechcraft and Tecnam light aircraft models and Sikorsky and Airbus civil and military helicopters, among many others.

Indra has prepared the system to train pilots of remotely operated aircraft. More specifically, the SIMCUI incorporates the flight model of the Targus, an optionally manned MALE (medium-altitude long-endurance) aircraft, the most advanced of its kind manufactured to date in Spain, which Indra has developed in partnership with the Government of Galicia as part of the Civil UAVs Initiative.

The reduced weight of the SIMCUI’s structure makes it easy to move and install quickly wherever it’s required. Each of these simulators is designed to network, interact and share a single virtual scenario. Military pilots are thus trained in the same way as they operate during real missions.

Indra is one of the world’s chief suppliers of simulation and training systems,  has developed simulators for the largest number of helicopter models. It has also worked on the development of advanced simulators such as the Eurofighter, the A400M and the NH90 helicopter.
