Abstract
The invention of this disclosure is a training system that utilizes operational equipment in conjunction with ground-based simulation training equipment. The apparatus of this invention comprises airborne military aircraft that contains avionics equipment, an on-board computer coupled to a transmitter and a receiver coupled to the aircraft for receiving signals from the ground-based simulator. The aircraft transmits signals to an interface unit that sends those signals to a simulator that receives and processes signals from the interface unit to cause an acoustic generator to produce the same signals that would be generated by some surface ship or submarine, as detected by a plurality of sonobuoys. The acoustic sounds generated by the simulator are transmitted to the receiver aboard the aircraft. Thus, this invention enables a flight crew to train on a simulator while flying in an actual aircraft.
