An advanced Army simulator is reducing risks and saving costs at the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center.
The Universal Mission Simulator is a full simulation training system providing readiness to Gray Eagle and Shadow Unmanned Aircraft Systems flight crews.
The UMS trains UAS flight crews to operate all aspects of the UAS systems including preflight, taxi, launch, flight route to mission area, target area exploitation, weapons employment, return to airfield, landing, taxi, and post flight.
“The Joint Technology Center and Systems Integration Lab, commonly referred to as JSIL, sustains all UMS systems to keep software current with the Gray Eagle and Shadow tactical systems configurations,” said UAS Crew Training Simulation Systems Branch Chief, Will Bishop. “The Army incurs lower risks and costs by using the UMS to augment live flight training.”
