Motion Cueing Systems
Deployable, low-cost motion from real or replica seats.
CAe Motion Cueing Systems
Over a period of more than two decades CAe has supplied Motion Cueing Seats and other simulation products to a worldwide market. The evolutionary development of the CAe Motion Cueing Seat system has contributed to and benefited from CAe’s lead participation in various UK MOD / DERA motion cueing simulation studies. CAe has recently worked with NAVAIR in the US to develop state-of-the-art motion cueing solutions. The result is a company (CAe) with unsurpassed experience and skills in providing high fidelity motion cueing seat system design, and a cost-effective robust technical approach for both fast jet and helicopter training requirements.
Because of the compact, form-fit nature of the CAe motion cueing system, flight simulators can now be truly portable to provide ‘in Theatre’ training, any time, any place. The CAe ‘G-Seat’ can be operated simply by connecting to a domestic level power supply.
Low-cost motion
Backed by years of in-service experience and development, the CAe G-Seats and motion cueing systems provide high fidelity motion at a fraction of the cost of a motion platform. In addition, our systems can provide aerodynamic and task related cues that are not generally available on a motion platform and can be more realistic!
Real seats or Replica seats
The modular G-Seat system was designed to be incorporated into real ejection seats, with virtually no change to the overall appearance, size or shape of the original seat. The seat can then be a direct replacement for an existing static simulator seat. CAe can also supply replica G-Seats to customers’ requirements.
Form-fit
The CAe actuator modules are fitted within the seat structure, which means a motion seat can be simply installed in an existing simulator, without taking up extra space.
Low Maintenance
The system uses modules based on COTS items throughout, with an MTTR of 40 minutes and a MTBF of 5000 hours.
PC-based, real-time control system
The integrated controller provides a user friendly PC based interface allowing real-time control to be handled by an independent DSP based sub-system. The housing containing the module amplifiers gives an EMC controlled environment.
- Tuneable performance characteristics using a PC based GUI interface. (pilot’s seat-of-the-pants feel).
- Highly reliable COTS equipment used in other aeronautical applications (planetary roller screw selected for smoothness and durability).
- Modular sub-system components for ease of maintenance and replacement (Line Replacement Units – LRUs).
- Robust safety locks (emergency stop control).
- Complete Integrated Logistics Support (20-years typical).
