• Scenario progress screen

The display system of parachute simulator is a Helmet Mounted Display (HMD).
The HMD works with integrated sensors to change the field of view for multiple parachute jumpers simultaneously.

Environmental Sound System

The environmental sound system is used to enhance the reality of simulation using levels, frequency and sound direction.

Internal Communication
An internal communication subsystem is used for trainee-instructor and trainee-trainee communication. All the participants in the training environment can communicate with each other.

• Weather conditions (sunny, rainy, snowy, windy, foggy, etc.)
• Time-of-day.
• COTS (Commercial off the Shelf) hardware.
• The system is designed for future modifications.

Debriefing System allows saving, replaying and examining the current jump or previously saved jumps.

Main functionalities of debriefing system:
• Controlled from IOS
• All communication is recorded
• Record settings (start-end time, automatic start, continuous recording)
• Record information (record duration, size)
• Transfer to storage unit
• Instructor comments/notes
• Generate reports for analysis purpose
• Replay of records
• Display time information in replay
• Access to trainee forms for evaluation
• Speed of replay (1X, 2X, 4X)
