Brief/Debrief System (BDS)
The Brief/Debrief System (BDS) allows instructors and users to capture the flight data generated during a flight simulator session. The data includes video, audio, all flight maneuvers, instrument repeaters, and malfunctions performed during the training session. ASI had delivered the BDS to the U.S. Coast Guard for the HC-144A Operational Flight Trainer. The BDS is available as a COTS product and can be tailored to meet the requirements of any number of flight training and maintenance training devices.
Overview
A versatile, comprehensive and intuitive tool that provides full featured Briefing and Debriefing capabilities, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of simulator sessions
A proven ASI system successfully fielded on the USCG HC-144A Operational Flight Trainer and Reconfigurable Flight Training Device
Designed for new trainers and for upgrades of existing flight training systems
Easy integration into existing trainers providing new functionality or replacement of legacy Debrief systems
Provides the latest technology for student performance evaluation, feedback and record keeping, accelerating the accomplishment of defined training objectives
Provides common look and operation with ASI’s Instructor Operator Station
Technology and Interfaces
Available as a configurable ASI product
Can be tailored for program specific requirements
Debrief application is based upon the Qt C++ cross-platform application and User Interface (UI) framework running on Windows or Linux
Engine provides an integrated runtime editor and allows for on-the-fly customization of the UI for program specific requirements using a suite of plugin-based UI controls, including:
Buttons, images, text labels, progress bars, sliders, LEDs, approach plates/FLIPs, graphical plots, maps, procedure checklists, media players, containers and primitives
Uses the same UI and map engines as ASI’s Instructor Operator Station for commonality
Uses the latest in display, processing, interconnectivity and touch input technology
Interfaces through Ethernet connections
Supports typical Information Assurance requirements
