This paper improves the understanding of the use of eye-tracking tools in the pilot selection process. Research of eye movement and attention distribution of candidate pilots may provide the capability for visual behavior prediction in more demanding flight training phases. The research included psychological testing, flight screening of subjects and their achievements in a flight simulator in combination with an eye-tracking device. Participants were divided into three categories: high performance, average performance, and low performance and separately regarded through psychological testing results and flight screening results. An eye-tracking device tracked visual behavior of subjects through the scope and speed of visual perception. The number of fixations and revisits recorded during the simulated visual flight conditions measured the difference in visual response between subjects. Comparison of results showed a positive correlation with psychological test results. Correlation with flight screening selection was not confirmed. We used the new network-based approach with three target importance measures to overcome the shortcomings of traditional eye movement metrics. The results of the adopted network approach presented in the form of graphs and analysis of normalized importance measures showed that it was possible to extract specific saccade strategy for each participant. Discovered differences between them positively detected week ones. In this way, Eye-tracking tools can potentially improve the pilot selection process and complement other tests and assessment methods.
Introduction/purpose: The paper provides a review of recent research in the field of digital training applied in the Serbian Military Academy flight training. Flight training represents the foundation of successful education of military pilots. Its division is based on the environment and a phase of realization. The main part and the core of successful flight training is basic flight training. This training phase has experienced significant changes with the introduction of the Technically Advanced aircraft (TAA) which is characterized by a high degree of digitalization not only of the cockpit but also of other aircraft systems. Consequently, a different methodological approach to training is needed, including a digital training concept. The paper shows the achievements and certain solutions based on some elements of digital training concepts used in the basic flight training at the Serbian Military Academy. Methods: The scientific approach is used in the evaluation of aircraft cockpit digitalization and in the implementation of a new training concept in the basic flight training in the Serbian Military Academy. Results: Based on the methodological analysis used, the importance and the values of the digital training concept in basic flight training are shown. Conclusion: Although the digital training concept is not mandatory in the existing flight training model in the Serbian Military Academy, it proves to be a valuable asset. Its potential is significant and, to a certain extent, it can change the nature of basic flight training. Due to digital training, cadets can fly more safely and their flying skills are acquired faster. In accordance with new modern aircraft acquisition in the Serbian Air Force, every aspect of the digital training concept has to be carefully considered, especially in the basic flight training phase, including conversion to new aircraft types.
SEVERAL ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT AND MODERNIZATION OF CONTEMPORARY MULTIROLE COMBAT AIRCRAFT Summary:This paper focuses on some aspects of development and modernization of contemporary multirole combat aircraft. In compliance with a large number of innovations developed in every generation of multirole combat aircraft as well as comprehensive modernization of existing types, the main essential and interactive aspects are emphasized here.
Višenamenski borbeni avioni predstavljaju dominantnu kategoriju borbenih aviona. Mogu da izvršavaju različite vrste namenskih zadataka, a primarni su lovački, bombarderski i izviđački zadaci. U izvršavanju određenih vrsta zadataka evidentno je povećano opterećenje posade višenamenskih borbenih aviona, što nameće primenu aviona dvosede konfiguracije umesto uobičajene jednosede konfiguracije kabinskih prostora. Obe konfiguracije kabinskog prostora imaju određene prednosti i nedostatke, zbog čega je u koncipiranju nacionalne flote višenamenskih borbenih aviona potrebno pažljivo razmotriti određene tehničke i taktičke aspekte konfigurisanja kabinskog prostora. Neki od najbitnijih aspekata prikazani su i objašnjeni u ovom članku. Ključne reči: kabinski prostor, konfigurisanje kabinskog prostora, dvosed, jednosed, višenamenski borbeni avion. Uvod Višenamenski borbeni avioni pripadaju kategoriji taktičkih borbenih aviona namenjenih za izvršavanje zadataka koji obuhvataju najmanje dve kategorije borbenih dejstava koja se izvode iz vazdušnog prostora.
