Abstract :
The US Navy´s PMA-205 in conjunction with Stottler Henke has developed and deployed a tool that can be used for training and AOP experimentation for the US Navy´s new MH-60S and MH-60 R helicopters. The tool, called the Operator Machine Interface Assistant (OMIA), is primarily an expandable, easily modifiable low-cost PC-hosted desktop crew trainer. OMIA is currently in use for training at HSC-2, HSC-3 and HSM-41. However, since both helicopters have been constantly evolving through the development process of OMIA and continue to evolve now and in the future, OMIA had to utilize flexible, low-cost, rapid development methods.
