The PRISMS simulator was originally developed as a helicopter flight simulator with capabilities to demonstrate helmet-mounted display (HMD) symbology. Subsequently, it has been used with other systems for other purposes. PRISMS has facilities for knowledge acquisition, experimental control, and data recording. Features include a gaming area of realistic terrain, multiple moving targets, photo-textured objects, 3D sound, voice synthesis and recognition, and full flight controls. PRISMS offers an immersive, approach with an opaque visor, providing an effective virtual reality experience, as well as an accurate head tracker so that symbology positioning and behavior is appropriately slaved to the user's head movements. The system is configured to simulate flight through terrain generated from digital terrain elevation databases. PRISMS models the flight characteristics and HMD symbology of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter and the popular Robinson R-22. The Army uses PRISMS with a special motion model for RAH-66 Comanche helicopter familiarization. NASA uses PRISMS for Mars Lander and Rover simulations.
