KC-135 Crew Reduction Feasibility Demonstration Simulation Study. Volume 2. Cockpit Design

Abstract : In support of the KC-135 Avionics Modemization Program, a two-person (no-nav) conceptual cockpit design was developed for use in the man-in-the-loop simulation feasibility demonstration. This report is Volume 2 of a 3-volume technical report. The report covers the background, rationale, and process used in developing the Crew Station Evaluation Facility's two-person (no nav) conceptual cockpit design. A total of six subsystems were either added to or replaced older archaic systems. These systems included (1) Remote Readout Unit (RRU), (2) Electronic Attitude Director Indicator (EADI), (3) Electronic Heading Situation Indicator (EHSI), (4) Control Display Unit (CDU), (5) Color weather radar, and (6) Warnings and Cautions Advisory Panel (WCA). A detailed description is provided for each piece of new equipment/ subsystem. Recommendations of the functional requirements determined from the feasibility demonstration (Volume 3) are also discussed. Electronic Attitude Director Indicator (EADI), Electronic Heading Situation Indicator (EHSI), Control Display Unit (CDU).
