Currently, the dynamic development of information technology contributes to the increasingly widespread application of Virtual Reality (VR) as modern and effective methods and training tools used in the process of self-education and/or training related to understanding the essence of the principles of operation and mastering the tasks of operating even complex systems or technical processes through simulating their actions. A significant argument for the use of virtual reality simulators in training uniformed services is the favorable cost-effect ratio and considerations of trainee safety. However, the use of VR simulators may be accompanied by the possibility of side effects or intensified symptoms of the so-called cybersickness. Bearing this in mind, the purpose of this article is to present the results of preliminary studies of adverse factors occurring during training using a VR simulator. The theoretical foundation for empirical research was provided by the results of a conducted review and analysis of literary content. Among the empirical methods, studies were conducted using a simulator sickness questionnaire and a research trial according to the parallel triangulation strategy scheme, involving the simultaneous use of quantitative and qualitative methods. The results obtained in this way can provide a valuable source of information about factors increasing the risk of adverse symptoms of cybersickness and ways of their mitigation, and can serve for further work on their development and application of VR simulators.

“…The first part is the Event Calendar, which creates and arrays the events of entities in chronological order in the simulation. The second part is represented by ODE models of entities (Missile [9], Aircraft [7], Radar [10]) with its solvers, track and destination controllers. The third part perform as a Command Post (CP) / Fire Distribution Centre (FDC), where the C2 procedures are included, there is also applied the queuing theory and the probability distribution.…”

The planning stage of any procedure is critical to its successful and efficient execution. Even in the military, over the last few decades, mission planning support has evolved rapidly using modern Modelling and Simulation (M&S) tools. The article focuses on the M&S of Surface Based Air Defence (SBAD) and the design of the complex hybrid simulator coupling Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) and Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) models. The simulator includes all entities and procedures that participate in SBAD missions, specifically the ODE models of a target, missile, radar, and the models of Command and Control (C2) system procedures. The design of the simulator also includes the possibilities of automated generation of flight routes, fire control and target distribution for multiple targets and Fire Units (FU) using queuing theory algorithms. As a main platform for the development and scenario design, the Jupyter notebook environment with the Python programming language was used. The primary objectives are to design, validate, and implement the proposed simulator in SBAD mission planning, military cadets' education, and experimental tasks.

This paper deals with the design of an autopilot based on a set of fuzzy controllers. The model of the aircraft that the autopilot controls is defined as a model with 6 degrees of freedom, where the inputs to this model are the settings of the engine thrust (DX), rudder rotation (Dl) and elevators (Dm and Dn). The fuzzy controllers are of the Mamdani type, where the set of parameters defining the controller allow the derivation of membership functions of the input variables and membership functions of the output variables. The parameters of fuzzy controllers are determined by the optimization process. For the purpose of optimization, a fitness function is defined, which derives the simulation parameters from its parameter (vector), and the simulation subsequently performed and evaluated determines whether it is a feasible solution in addition the value of this solution. By this optimization process, the sub-optimal solution is found and is then used to define the settings of the fuzzy controllers and, therefore, the autopilot. This paper contains a description of each step of the solution of the described problem, and with the help of the obtained results, it is determined that the presented procedure allows us to find an autopilot capable of controlling the defined model of the aircraft. In addition, there is a brief description regarding the misconceptions explored during the development of the experiment.
