COTS Products Overview
ART has produced Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) software to support simulation modeling and analysis. The FLIGHTLAB Development System provides comprehensive modeling and analysis of flight vehicles, using a library of modeling components that can be instanced, interconnected, and assigned aircraft specific parameter values to produce a wide range of dynamic system architectures. ART has used FLIGHTLAB to produce flight dynamics models for a variety of aircraft and provides these models as COTS products. SIMphony provides a run-time infrastructure for processing the flight dynamics model in real time and interfacing it to simulator systems and software applications. ART has utilized FLIGHTLAB models and SIMphony to support simulator manufacturers with high quality flight dynamics models.

In addition, ART provides HeliFlight-R, a turnkey reconfigurable simulator that includes a dome visual, control loaders, reconfigurable instrument displays and flight models, and an optional motion platform. HeliFlight-R is designed to provide a cost-effective piloted simulation capability with high fidelity flight dynamics cueing to support FLIGHTLAB users in performing real-time pilot-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop evaluation. It can also be used for training applications and can be certified to FAA Level 5 Flight Training Device standards.
