TAPS Operational Simulation

Problem

AeroTech needed to assess the performance requirements, capabilities, and use of its Turbulence Auto-PIREP System (TAPS) in a multi-aircraft operationally representative environment.

Approach

AeroTech combined aircraft simulations, weather models, system algorithms, and logic into a real-time multi-element simulation for system refinement and assessment.

Results

A versatile development tool (TAPOS) was developed that can be used for system development, flight crew assessments, system requirements, and cost estimation. Training applications are being investigated.

AeroTech Contributions

Aircraft and system simulations, weather model implementation, simulation requirements definition, software checkout, and program management.
