Agenda • My Background • Why this subject? • Observations from the X-45 Program • The Rules • The Bottom Line
The Rules • Operators should be included in the design process from day one • The design process should allow for immediate changes in the HSI • The HSI should be integrated with an accurate simulation • The HSI should be user-configurable
Agenda • My Background • Why this subject? • Observations from the X-45 Program • The Rules • The Bottom Line
The Bottom Line • Design and implementation tools that allow real-time prototyping and use with a simulation are essential QUESTIONS ???????
