In brief

THE PR

OBLEM

•Market is demanding toreduce acquisition andmaintenance cost for thetraining devices.

• Simulators Manufacturersand integrators are havingmany problems to meetmarket demand, evenwhen they try to use COTSin a massive way.

•A great challenge is in themarket: demand fortraining devices is growingbut demanding best pricesthat cannot be meet byproviders.

THE SO

LUTION

• Instead of building yoursimulator, integrate it byusing a common simulationplatform.

•Be focused in deliver theright training solution notin how to technically buildthe simulator.

• Improve your time tomarket and reduce yourdevelopment costs byimproving reusability andcomposability.

•Assure an affordable Costof maintenance by using afuture‐proof architecture.

CASE IN

POINT • Simware has been used as

the simulation platform forthe development ofJAR/FAR certified trainingdevices.

• Simware provides anintegration platform tobuild the training device asa composition of COTSalready available in themarket, thus reducing thenecessity of newdevelopments.

The challenge: how to build a training device starting with many COTS

SimulationModels

ImageGenerator

Avionics and instruments

Building a simulator using COTSand reusing other componentsdeveloped previously in theorganization is not an easy task.

Building a simulator fromdifferent components requiresmanaging many differentprotocols, APIs and architectures

Without a common platform,integration can be a realnightmare, compromisingdeadlines and the budget.

Simware Real time Scheduler



Advantages of using a Data‐Centric Simulation Platform

Allows to define and maintain a common data model and Data Exchange Mechanisms between heterogeneous software components

Uncouples the architecture of the simulator

Allows a better management of the qualities of service (QoS) for data exchanging

Allows the physical distribution of the software components in different machines anytime

Encapsulates standards compliance inside the middleware

EXIM: Full deployment of Simware platform

Simware platform provides a common core with pub‐sus and simulation management.SimDeveloper was used to build simulation modules from data package of Piper Arrow aircraft.SimWare API C++ from Windows and Linux allows to integrate the virtual cockpit and IOS.CIGI interface of the platform allows to integrate a compatible visual with this std.HLA compatibility allows to integrate the synthetic scenario using Stage.Data‐centric architecture allows to automate JAR tests without needing to modify the simulator.



Simware allows Exim to be scalable without technical risk and hidden cost
