5. RECENT NAVAIR / NAWCTSD SBIR Topics (12.1) Innovative Collimated Controller Displays (N121-041) Advancements are needed to improve the depth perception of vertical and short take-off and landing aircraft operators during simulated hovering operations. Develop innovative visual displays to provide variable collimation and improved 3D depth perception for rotary wing chin windows and cargo hatch operation. A new and innovative visual display design that is light-weight and thin enough to be incorporated into existing rotary wing and short take-off and landing simulator housings is sought. Improved Radio Frequency Modeling for Correlated Environment Communication System Simulators with Sensor Simulators (N121-011) Most aviation accidents occur when sensor degradations are present due to atmospheric/weather, terrain, and cultural variables, yet simulations maintain artificially physically consistent representations of these sensors. Topic seeks an innovative approach for on-the-fly, physics-based radio frequency propagation modeling - that appropriately interacts with complex synthetic natural environments for more realistic simulations of real world communications and radar sensor systems. Topic Title: Small Projector Array Display System (N121-005) Develop innovative technology to combine large numbers of small commercial-off-the-shelf Light Emitting Diode (LED) based projectors, into a cost effective, high performance, high efficiency, small footprint immersive rear-projection display. Innovation would enable the distribution of Image Generator video inputs across multiple small projectors into one seamless image. The goal is to provide 20/20 visual acuity, for the same or lower price of the current state-of-the-art visual display systems.

7. Mixed Gas Hypoxia Training in Low Pressure Chambers SBIR Topic No. N08-139 Phase II Contract No. 11-C-0010 • Problem Statement: • Students & instructors exposed to risk of decompression sickness. • No Opportunity for multi-crew teams to experience both pressure altitude decompression and high altitude hypoxia in the same chamber • SBIR Advanced Prototype Development • Created normobaric (mixed gas, normal air pressure) simulated altitude environments up to 30,000 feet. • Provides a multi-crew setting conduct training without the need for a mask and without the risk of decompression sickness . • Aviators experience decompression at a limited but safe (10,000 feet and higher) simulated altitudes • FY13 Phase III Product Availability – • Research being done relatively quickly. • Room was set-up to allow Entry & Exit without significant loss of altitude • Successful applications include U.S. military units, foreign military, commercial aeronautical authorities Model of Hypoxia Trainer Colorado Altitude Training, LLC Mr. Shaun Wallace (303) 440-4102 swallace@altitudetraining.com Phase II TPOC: Thomas Franz 407-380-4631 Sponsor: PMA -205 NASTP Ph III Funds (APN)

8. Affordable, Reconfigurable Aerial Refueling Part-Task TrainerSBIR N102-124 Contract No. N68335-10-C-0584 • Problem Statement: • Current training for aerial refueling lacks: • Stereo depth for lining up engagement • Details necessary for realistic visuals • Aerodynamic buffeting and G-onset cues experienced in close proximity flight with a refueling tanker aircraft • The result is a lack of opportunity to train for this critical flight maneuver, and potentially negative aerial refueling training in our full-mission trainers. • FY13 Phase IIDevelop, integrate, demonstrate and evaluate a prototype that incorporates fidelity and imagery as experience during F/A-18 aerial refueling • FY14 Projected Phase III • Higher fidelity air refueling training will improve pilot performance – validated with time to train new pilots. • Increased availability of full-mission trainers, and reduced the expense of maintaining the training systems will result.
