HARDWARE SIMULATOR [5 records]

Record 1 2019-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Satellite Telecommunications
DEF

... an advanced development model of an extremely high frequency (EHF) military satellite communication system or SATCOM.

OBS

As part of the Canadian EHF SATCOM Research and Development Project, FASSET will develop the concepts and technology that would be required in any future operational EHF military SATCOM system.

OBS

References tend to describe FASSET as a satellite simulator; however [the] system is more accurately described as an emulator rather than a simulator since real hardware is used to produce analog signals that transfer real user data.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télécommunications par satellite
CONT

Le système FASSET est un banc d'essai de communications par satellite en bande extrêmement haute fréquence (EHF), incluant une charge utile et un terminal terrestre [qui] a été développé à l'origine sous contrat pour le centre de Recherche et développement pour la défense Canada - Ottawa (RDDC Ottawa).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Simulators (Aeroindustry)
CONT

Convertible simulator is a simulator in which hardware and software can be changed so that the simulator becomes a replica of a different model, usually of the same type airplane.

CONT

Convertible simulators will be addressed as a separate simulator for each model and series to which the simulator will be converted and an approval sought.

Record 3 2003-09-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The following hardware supports the OSCA [ORU Simulator and Carrier Assembly] during launch, landing and on-orbit operations :... The CHIA [Cargo Handling Interface Assembly] interface plate assembly(CIPA) represents the ORU-unique attachment point to the common cargo subcarrier.

OBS

The CHIA is an external support equipment which provides interfaces between the cargo items and the ULC [Unpressurized Logistic Carrier] in orbit, during the assembly and maintenance operations of the ISS [International Space Station]. Its basic design will interface plates or boxes where cargo items can be accommodated. The CHIAs will provide heating as well as a data bus to verify that the cargo items are in operational conditions and within their safety margins. Brazil will supply a series of CHIAs in quantities and shapes to be defined. They will be fully compatible with external robotics operations (EVR) and with the crew’s external vehicular activities (EVA).

OBS

CHIA interface plate assembly; CIPA: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Record 5 1985-12-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Simulators (Aeroindustry)
CONT

... we’ve added hardware texture to our top selling Novoview SP1 flight simulator visual. It's called SP1/T and it gives rotary and fixed-wing pilots the kind of peripheral information that night/dusk training used to lack. So cloud or terrain pattern, even cracks on the runway, will now provide the same important cues as in the real world.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Simulateurs de vol (Constructions aéronautiques)
CONT

(...) nous avons ajouté un générateur de texture à notre système de visualisation de simulateur de vol qui se vend le mieux, le Novoview SP1. Désigné SP1/T, la nouvelle version fournit aux pilotes d'aéronefs à voilure tournante ou fixe le type d'information périphérique qui manquait jusqu'ici pour l'entraînement au vol nocturne ou crépusculaire. Ainsi, les formations de nuages ou les caractéristiques du relief et même les fissures de la piste, fourniront désormais des indications aussi importantes que dans la réalité.
