Abstract

The AH-64 combat mission simulator´s (CMS´s) visual-avionics-sensor (visionics) system is discussed. The AH-64 visionics consists of the target acquisition and designation systems (TADS), pilot night-vision sensor (PNVS), and the integrated helmet and display-sighting system (IHADSS). These systems provide the crew with sensor imagery for target detection, recognition, acquisition, and engagement, as well as night-vision imagery to aid in flying the aircraft. The simulation of the visionics systems is described, as well as the mission test and integration process. Controls, hardware interfaces, servo and visual simulations are also described
