ADVANCED COCKPIT GCS ADVANCED COCKPIT GCS
SPECIFICATIONS• High-definition (1080p) touch-screen displays (six 24”); Supports high-definition video
• MIL-STD control stick and throttle
• MIL-STD PC-based CPUs
• Meets or exceeds MIL-STD-1472 and other Human Factors Standards
• Integrated Flight Director System control panel
• Integrated MIL-STD HUD and 3D moving map display
• Can be retrofitted into existing U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or NASA fixed facility and fielded-GCS shelters
• Based on STANAG 4586 architecture (providing interoperability)
• Human Machine Interface (HMI) designed to increase Situational Awareness (SA)
– Greatly reduces operator workload by providing intuitive interfaces
– Automated alert system further enhances safe operations
– Improves the decision-making process
– Features anthropometric engineering such as adjustable displays, controls, and ergonomic, electrically adjustable seating
– HMI design efforts validated by the National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR)
– Improved synthetic video featuring graphical overlays with terrain avoidance, threats/special use air space, and other feeds embedded into 3D graphics
