Developing a high-fidelity simulation and training to improve coordination between aerospace specializations

Abstract

This paper describes the various technological elements used to create and support a simulated flight operations control center for the purpose of collegiate aviation training. The simulation center also serves as a platform to research team dynamics, educational efficacy, and individual occupational stereotypes. The simulation facility relies on the harmonious integration of technologies to meet operational requirements including realism, flexibility, and capability. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
