FINMECCANICA SIMULATION
PRODUCT CATALOGUE 2015
One of the emerging trends of the 21st century military is the way in which it has
looked to enhance front line capability through the exploitation of latest technology.
Such technology-enabled transformation strategies can only be realised however, by
empowering those within the armed forces to develop the appropriate knowledge,
skills and attitudes to facilitate this change.
The role of training as a force multiplier, enabling staff to expand their individual and
collective potential and to maximise the impact of their equipment, becomes even
more important when global defence budgets face increasing fiscal scrutiny. As a
consequence, training programmes themselves must transform and, adopting the
latest technology, be developed in such a way as to further reduce costs while continuing to contribute to efficiency and effectiveness of front line forces.
How Finmeccanica can help
Finmeccanica is a major player in Simulation & Training market. The training and
simulation capability available from across the group combines an in-depth domain
knowledge and training expertise with a long established commitment for developing
and integrating innovative training technology, to ensure our armed forces receive
cost effective and engaging through-life solutions that transform training and enhance operational capability.
Major investments have been made in the training sector spanning on the three
aspects:
l Live
l Virtual
l Constructive
1

leading role. In addition to the individual operator training supported by the above
mentioned simulators, our mission simulators provide Command & Control Training
for command teams, both for the Army and Navy, maritime vessel and air traffic
simulators, as well as railway traffic management training in the civil field.
Our virtual training systems encompass a variety number of training technologies
developed by the Finmeccanica Companies in the areas of scenario generation,
exercise management, sensor simulators, and 3D image generator. The Group is
also applying emerging technologies, such as Virtual and Augmented Reality and a
“serious games” approach to ensure we can deliver, enhanced, effective training for
any specific situations.
Constructive - Offering solutions for Concept, Development & Experimentation (CD&E),
our capability addresses operational planning and defence support in accordance
with the defence doctrine. We support national and international combined exercises
(CAX) such as those run by NATO Centre Of Excellence by means of distributed
simulation which federates the Simulation Labs of each Finmeccanica Company.

Product Name: COUGAR AIRCREW TRAINING SYSTEM (CATS)
End User: Pilot and Operator Training
Company: Telespazio
Telespazio has developed the COUGAR Aircrew Training System (CATS) to support pilot training.
CATS is an integrated training system consisting of 24 hours of courseware and a simulator within
a single application. It therefore combines learning with practising to maximise the training result.
CATS perfectly supports initial, conversion as well as refresher training. During initial and conversion
training the student works on all or pre-selected courseware lessons sequentially. Along the way, he
will often be confronted with pre-configured situations in the simulator in order to practise what he
has just learned. For refresher training the student will work with the simulator most of the time. If
knowledge gaps are recognised, the respective courseware page can be accessed directly via the
context sensitive help function. The simulator allows the students to practise operational procedures
in “free-play” mode. This allows them to learn about each helicopter system and how they interact
with each other. All essential systems have been modelled, including the flight management system,
electronic flight instrument system, digital map system, autopilot and self-protection system. A
number of faults can be injected into each system. This provides for procedural training in normal
and abnormal conditions. The simulated helicopter “flies” within a realistic terrain model based
on original elevation data that contains all airfields and radio navigation aids. The user can place
different types of threats into a scenario to support realistic training of the self-protection system’s
functionality. These features allow the student to fly a complete mission in the simulator from
“pre-flight” to “engine shutdown”.
