[RU 2294019, C1, G09B 9/46, 02.20.2007].

A disadvantage of the known technical solution is the relatively narrow functionality.

The closest in technical essence to the proposed is a simulator [RU 2230371, C2, G09B 9/46, 2004], containing:

- the cockpit of the aircraft, equipped with video cameras, speakers and having an adapter system with a set of equipment, the appearance of the elements of which, their relative position repeats the appearance and arrangement of the equipment elements of the set of the cockpit;

- a booth visual simulation unit, including a booth display unit and a visual environment generation unit, wherein the booth visual display unit may be a system including projectors and a diorama screen mounted in front of the cockpit;

- a computer system that allows you to simulate regular and abnormal flight modes of the aircraft and equipped with a unit for simulating acoustic noise. At the same time, the computing complex contains a programmable block for modeling flight conditions and operating modes, the software of which is configured to model aerodynamics, navigation parameters, the operation of the power plant, units and systems of the aircraft;

- the workplace of the simulator instructor, including a control panel and control tools connected to the computer complex, and equipped with a radio simulation unit. At the instructor’s workstation, video monitors are installed, connected to the cabin’s video cameras.

The closest technical solution allows the training and training of the flight crew, simulate the operation of equipment in regular and special situations, simulate the visual environment depending on weather conditions, time of day and time of year, and also monitor the work of the crew.

However, the closest technical solution has relatively narrow functional capabilities, since it does not provide the possibility of simulator training in full for the co-pilot (navigator-operator) and the operator of the combat command of military aviation, as well as the crew of the same type fighter aircraft, which interacts with the crew in combat conditions heavy fighter, which does not allow for the effective training of flight personnel.

The required technical result is to expand the functionality, which is aimed at improving the efficiency of training crews of heavy fighters on the simulator.

The required technical result is achieved by the fact that in the complex simulator of the crew of a heavy fighter containing the cockpit, equipped with video cameras, speakers and a set of equipment with an adapter system, the appearance of the elements of which, their relative position repeat the appearance and arrangement of the equipment elements of the cockpit of a real heavy fighter, a block simulating the cockpit visual environment, a computing complex connected to the cockpit, with a block simulating the cockpit visual observ installations that allow you to simulate regular and abnormal flight modes of a heavy fighter, flight conditions, aerodynamic characteristics, navigation parameters, the operation of the power plant, units and systems of a heavy fighter and equipped with an acoustic noise simulation unit, as well as an instructor's workstation, including a control panel and controls, connected to the computer complex, and equipped with a radio simulation unit, at the same time, video monitors connected to video cameras are installed at the instructor’s workplace and the cockpit, the procedural simulator of the interacting flight crew and the simulator of the combat control officer were introduced, connected to the cockpit and to the computer complex.

The complex simulator of the crew of a heavy fighter contains a cockpit of 1 crew, equipped with video cameras, speakers and a set of equipment with an adapter system, the appearance of the elements of which, their relative position repeat the appearance and arrangement of the equipment elements of the cockpit of a real modern heavy fighter, as well as block 2 for simulating a cockpit visual environment, which is made in the form of five optical collimation devices with a viewing angle of 200 ° × 30 ° for the crew commander.

In addition, the complex simulator for the crew of a heavy fighter contains a computer complex 3, which is connected to the cockpit 1, with a block 2 simulating the cockpit visual environment and allows you to simulate regular and abnormal flight modes of the aircraft, flight conditions and operating modes, aerodynamic characteristics, navigation parameters, operation power plant, units and systems of the aircraft and is equipped with a unit for simulating acoustic noise. All the necessary initial data for simulating the process of using weapons using computer complex 3 are taken from training options for using weapons in a real environment (target images, booth situations, noise, the process of hitting targets, the state of government and the results of using weapons).

The complex simulator of the crew of a heavy fighter also contains a trainer station 4, including a control panel and control equipment connected to a computer complex 3, and equipped with a radio simulation unit, and video monitors are installed at the trainer station 4 connected to the video cameras of the crew cabin.

The complex simulator for the crew of a heavy fighter also has a procedural simulator 5 for the interacting flight crew connected to the cockpit 1 of the crew and computer complex 3, as well as a procedural simulator 6 for the combat control officer, also connected to the cockpit 1 of the crew and computer complex 3.

Block 2 simulations of the cockpit visual environment is made in the form of a system of mirrors ("periscope") for the navigator-operator.

The procedural simulator 5 of the interacting flight crew is designed to work out the order of interaction in the conduct of hostilities and flying a couple.

The procedural simulator 5 of the interacting flight crew, connected to the cockpit 1 of the crew and to the computer complex 3, is a technical training tool that allows you to create the skills necessary in the real conditions of the pilot’s activity and possessing the following basic properties:

- providing simulation on the simulator of individual fragments of the conditions of the real activity of the pilot;

- providing the opportunity to practice individual operations and actions of the real activities of the pilot;

- providing the ability to objectively control the results of all operations and actions worked out on the simulator.

The procedural simulator 5 provides training in specific actions, for example, flight control, engine and aviation standard systems, control of electronic equipment, combat use at night, etc. The composition of the procedural simulator includes display simulators of dashboards and simulators of control levers, which in their extreme movements, loading characteristics and tactile sensations correspond to real ones at all stages and flight modes. Some devices directly related to the operation may be real.

The procedural simulator 6 of the combat control officer, connected to the cockpit 1 of the crew and to the computer complex 3, is designed to practice flight control in the area of the airfield and direct the heavy fighter to the target using a ground-based automated control system. Procedural simulator 6 allows you to practice the actions of the head of the near zone (analogue of a civilian dispatcher (take-off / landing, maneuver in the near zone)) and the operator of the combat control (analogue of a military dispatcher (pointing the aircraft at a target)) with the possibility of practicing actions for interacting with a fighter / attack aircraft through the channels of a ground-based automated control system. The procedural simulator 6 of the combat control officer is equipped with real instruments and devices or imitators, in particular, an all-round visibility indicator, an approach glide path and landing directional beacons indicator for the near zone leader, an all-round visibility indicator, and a ground-based automated control system control panel.

The complex simulator of the crew of a heavy fighter has two simulators, which, thanks to the use of computer complex 3 with various training programs, can be used in isolation or networked at the software level as part of a complex simulator, which allows both to work out the interaction of crew members and conduct training for each crew member individually.

Training on the complex simulator of the crew of a heavy fighter is as follows.

The crew takes their jobs in cockpit 1, the interacting crew in the simplified cockpit of the simulator 5, the combat officer in the cockpit of the simulator 6, the instructor in the instructor’s workplace 4.

The instructor from the workplace of 4 instructors loads a flight task into the computer complex 3 (sets the initial conditions, weather conditions, weapon system parameters, the target situation on the route, and other necessary source data). In accordance with the programs laid down in computer complex 3, simulation of the flight of the aircraft begins in real time.

In block 2, the cockpit visual environment for the pilot is reproduced, as close as possible to the real one. Acoustic systems that reproduce the noise of the power plant and aircraft systems are turned on. Radio communication is turned on and the instructor transmits to the pilot commands similar to those transmitted from the flight control command post.

The crew carries out a training flight in accordance with the task, acting on simulators of the aircraft’s controls, the signals from which through the adapters enter the computer complex 3 of the simulator and are used to simulate the flight.

The instructor on his video monitors monitors the progress of the training flight, through the intercom, gives commands to the crew, if necessary, changes the flight conditions using the control panel, for example, introduces system failures or changes the target environment, weather conditions, etc.

All information about the training flight is archived in the computer complex 3 simulators for subsequent analysis and analysis of crew actions.

The proposed technical solution expands the simulator's functionality, as it provides the navigator with the necessary visual information about the position of the aircraft in airspace, and also allows you to work out the interaction procedure when conducting combat operations and flying in a pair, to control flights in the aerodrome zone and aim the aircraft at the target using ground-based automated control system. The specified expansion of functionality is aimed at improving the efficiency of training flight crews on the simulator.
