With 25+ years of experience, the human factors and experimentation team provides capability in human factors, cognitive engineering and human performance assessment. We have extensive experience in assessing situational awareness, workload, and task-relevant performance of operators and crew across a variety of domains. Our human factors and simulation teams work closely to provide analyses, rapid-prototyping, design, and implementation services.
Focused Fidelity
CogSim Technologies Inc. (CTI) embodies the concept of “Focused Fidelity” by providing a targeted level of simulation fidelity to address the needs of our customers. The realization of “Focused Fidelity” extends beyond technology to include an in depth understanding of human factors, operational needs and regulatory demands. This approach allows us to deliver cost effective training & simulation systems that are tightly matched to user requirements.
CogSim Technologies employs a team of engineers, scientists and technologists with specialized expertise that enables the low-risk delivery of training & simulation systems.
TDL Simulation Suite
Our Tactical Data Link (TDL) Simulation Suite provides C++ libraries and supporting tools to add TDL interoperability to your simulation environment. The TDL Simulation Suite includes:
The TDL Message Library which provides the functionality required to create, populate, encode and decode TDL messages for Link 16 (J series), Link 22 (F and F/J series), Variable Message Format (VMF) (K Series), ASTERIX, and AIS messages, with support for SISO-J, SIMPLE, JREAP-C, and MIL-STD-2045 47001D (CDTALS) payloads.
The TDL Mission Support Library that provides generic implementations of systems necessary to manage TDL information in a mission-oriented context. This includes subsystems such as track correlation, track management, mission management, a simulated mission computer and simulated TDL terminal.
Analysis & Test Tools
– TDL Net Explorer (Receive, inspect and generate TDL messages)
– TDL COP (2-D TDL COP Visualization)
– TDL Test Platform (Generate dynamic TDL traffic)
– TDL Gateway (Bridge SISO-J, SIMPLE & JREAP-C TDL networks)
Documentation & Code Examples
TDL for VR-Forces
TDL for VR-Forces combines CTI’s proven TDL simulation technology with MAK Technologies’ industry leading VR-Forces Computer Generated Forces (CGF) platform.
Seamless integration with the VR-Forces UI and supporting tools simplifies TDL scenario generation and run-time interaction.
Support for simulation interoperability using SISO-STD-002-2006 (SISO-J), as well as with NATO STANAG 5602 (SIMPLE) and NATO STANAG 5518 (JREAP-C) (via CTI’s TDL Gateway), provides a direct path to Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) training potential.
AIS for VR-Forces
An add-on for MAK Technologies’ VR-Forces Computer Generated Forces (CGF) platform to simulate the transmission functionality of Automatic Information System (AIS) terminals.
Automated generation and transmission of NMEA AIS sentences from real-time maritime platform simulation state.
ASTERIX for VR-Forces
ASTERIX for VR-Forces is an add-on to MAK Technologies’ industry leading VR-Forces Computer Generated Forces (CGF) platform that enables the transmission of simulated radar contacts using the All Purpose Structured Eurocontrol Surveillance Information Exchange (ASTERIX) data standard.
