Apache AH Mk.1

SELEX Systems Integration (formerly VEGA) worked together with our customer, AgustaWestland, to provide the British Army with a comprehensive training system for the UK's Apache AH Mk.1 Attack Helicopter.

Challenge

The Apache AH Mk.1 Attack Helicopter was produced under license by AgustaWestland to satisfy the UK’s requirement for new rotary aircraft attack capability.

SELEX Systems Integration was chosen by AgustaWestland to provide a Classroom Maintenance Training System (CMTS) that would reduce costs of training by reducing the dependency on real equipment, allow for learning through experimentation and simulate interaction in a safe environment.

How SELEX Systems Integration Helped

SELEX Systems Integration delivered a generic, integrated classroom teaching system that consists of industry standard networked PCs, together with SELEX Systems Integration training software. This system enables instructors and students to interact effectively and efficiently with the Apache AH Mk.1 specific computer based training material, which includes:

• Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
• Computer Based Training (CBT)
• The Apache AH Mk.1 Interactive Electronic Technical  Publications (IETPs)
• A complete virtual aircraft or emulation of the Apache AH Mk.1 Attack Helicopter
• A Student Management System (SMS).

Value Delivered

SELEX Systems Integration's Apache AH Mk.1 training solution was its first incorporating a 3D front end providing greater realism for trainees learning to maintain and repair the aircraft. Each student has constant access to their own multi-media ‘virtual’ helicopter on which instructors can set and save faults. The student is therefore able to interact with the virtual helicopter to learn and practise a wide range of standard and diagnostic maintenance procedures. The system has proved so successful that it is now also used to support aircrew training.
