Ryan Aerospace, based in Southport on Australia’s Gold Coast, is one of those small but actively directed companies that regularly punches above its weight. Specialising in helicopter training solutions at varying levels of complexity and fidelity, the company has engaged in a positive campaign of partnership, joint ventures and international collaboration almost since it first came to public notice outside Australia. At I/ITSEC 2014 in the Orange County Convention Centre in Orlando this week it will reinforce that policy in several ways.

The company’s HELICREW UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter simulator will be shown integrated with a brand new software platform from Orlando-based Laser Shot. Known as Titan, the platform offers users a holistic simulation environment, expanding training capabilities beyond the normal traditional approaches. Users can create new scenarios based on a ‘whole world’ representation of the Earth, allowing the insertion of participants as virtual entities at any given spot around the globe. Custom training solutions, easily modified ‘on the fly’ thus become possible at the user level. Mission rehearsal and planning as well as tactical training scenarios can be authored and implemented at considerable cost savings compared with traditional solutions requiring networked or distributed simulation.
Also on display will be Ryan’s brand new HELIMOD Mk II simulator, for which Roy Aircraft & Avionics Simulation, Inc. (l’Ile-Bizard, Quebec, Canada) has integrated a high fidelity flight model using Presagis HELISIM software and additional motion using technology from D-Box (booth 613).
