International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Time-Space-Position-Information (TSPI) visualization systems used today at the Air
Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) and simulation visualization tools used at the Air
Armament Center (AAC) utilize two-dimensional (2D) display systems for both real-time
and post-mission data analysis. Examples are monitors and large screen projection
systems. Some TSPI visualization systems generate three-dimensional (3D) data as
output, but the 3D data is translated so that it is compatible with 2D display systems.
Currently, 3D volumetric display systems are being utilized by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) for monitoring air traffic in 3D without 3D goggles. The aircraft’s
position information is derived from radar and fed to a volumetric display. The AFFTC
and AAC need a similar system for Open Air Range testing utilizing the Global
Positioning System (GPS) as the source of position information and Installed Systems
Testing utilizing 6 Degree of Freedom (DOF) flight simulation data as the source of
position information. This system should be capable of displaying realistic terrain
structures, vehicle models and physical test configurations along with text data overlays.
The ability to display the mission in real-time on a volumetric 3D display makes it
possible for test engineers to observe resource utilization continuously as the mission
develops. Quicker turn-around times in the decision process will lead to more efficient
use of limited test resources and will increase the information content of the data being
collected.
