Helicopter Control Officer Training System
SHARE

Cirrus has developed the Helicopter Control Officer Training System (HCOTS) in close collaboration with helicopter systems experts, Prism Defence (www.prismdefence.com).  HCOTS enables naval HCO’s to be cost effectively trained in a representative simulated environment. 

The HCO-TS incorporates a high fidelity simulation of a platform based radar, which is integrated to a simulated naval combat control system. The radar imaging process determines surface and air returns from which the trainee HCO may initiate and manage radar tracked contacts.

Entities within the scenario are under scenario control, or alternatively may be controlled by an instructor. The instructor may fly selected contacts in response to directives provided by the trainee HCO, including Ship Controlled Approaches (SCA) and Emergency Low Visibility Approaches (ELVA).

The HCOTS is in operational use with a regional navy.
