TAIGA Traffic and Atmospheric Information for General Aviation Alaska offers a combination of difficult flying conditions and a heavy dependence upon aviation to support its way of life. The result is a sobering set of statistics describing a disproportionate number of aviation accidents and fatalities compared to the lower 48 states. TAIGA is a joint venture between NASA Ames Research Center and the State of Alaska to help pilots make better decisions before and during flight. We will accomplish this by building a system customized to the needs of Alaskan flights. This involves building communication systems, collecting appropriate data, delivering data to the cockpit, and visualizing that data in a useful way. For this last goal, we will use the Android platform and NASA World Wind. The data in question will include weather, traffic, and volcanic activity amongst others. We have developed an initial desktop demonstration of the visualization to appear on an Android tablet. Work has begun porting World Wind to the Android platform. The code resulting from this work will be made available as open source. It is hoped this will spur further Android/World Wind projects in the future. The most dangerous work site in Alaska is a small plane and the fatality rate for Alaska pilots (General Aviation & Commercial) is five times greater than the rate for all US pilots. - Alaska Aviation Safety Project citing FAA statistics To reduce occupational fatalities resulting from aircraft crashes in the state, safety interventions should focus on providing weather and other flight information to increase pilots’ situational awareness… and expanding the infrastructure used by pilots to fly by instruments. - CDC report on Alaskan occupational fatalities Contact Joseph.L.Rios@nasa.gov for more information
DiSTI’s GL Studio and World Wind Integration www.disti.com Ben Ellis, bellis@disti.com DiSTI is a leading provider of advanced graphical interface technology used to empower Human Machine Interface (HMI) development and virtual maintenance training. DiSTI’s flagship product, GL Studio, is a graphical development tool, laid out similar to Photoshop, that enables users to build and integrate high fidelity and feature rich 2D and 3D applications, enhancing levels of realism and sophistication. GL Studio enables the creation of 2D and 3D geometry in real time through a WYSIWYG environment, alleviating the need to write cumbersome OpenGL code. The GL Studio Editor features include basic tools for drawing, grouping, ordering and texturing. Fully instrumented F-16 with F-16 flight dynamics. Fly there before and after: • Mission planning • Mission debriefing • Training Designs are implemented using the GL Studio Runtime Engine. This allows for real-time design and deployment. GL Studio’s Java code generator produces pure Java code compatible with any operating system utilizing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). GL Studio products easily integrate with NASA World Wind to create applications for high fidelity graphical instrumentation overlays suitable for: • Simulators, • UAV control stations, and • Telemetry visualization, etc.
