A night vision goggles aided flight simulator system () and method for simulating night flight operations. The system comprises a computer () programmed with flight simulator software to calculate a flight simulator image (A,A); a projection screen () configured to receive the flight simulator image (A,A); a light projector () configured to project the flight simulator image (A,A) onto the projection screen (); and a view tracking device () configured to measure a viewing vector (V) of a night vision device (). The system () is configured to mask the projected flight simulator image (A,A) as a function of the measured viewing vector (V).

Night vision goggles aided flight simulator system and method

Test system for viewing systems, such as CCD cameras, infrared viewers, or binoculars or telescopes, which test system is provided with a test object having various component test objects to be shown to the viewing system, which test object is to be placed at a distance from the viewing system and which is to be tendered displayable with the viewing system for an inspection unit (for example, a test operative), with which inspection unit the quality of the operation of the viewing system can be determined on the basis of said display, the test object comprising component test objects differing in appearance from one another and the test system being suitable for presenting said component test objects simultaneously or one after another to the inspection unit to determine a property of the displayed component test objects.
