Resulting image: sent to a television monitor placed in front of the pilot in the simulator The pilot could control the movement of the camera over the terrain board by moving the control stick and throttle. As a result: the pilot could receive visual feedback both inside and outside the cockpit.;Newest innovation: Project called SIMNET to electronically connect two or more simulators to produce a distributed simulation environment. SIMNET can be used not only for training, but also to develop and test new combat strategy and tactics. ;Telepresence for Military Missions ;Smart weapons and remotely- piloted vehicles (RPVs) were developed because: - many aspects of combat operations are very hazardous - more risky if the combatant seeks to improve his performance Some smart weapons are autonomous, others are remotely controlled after they are launched ;Advantages: - allows the shooter and weapon controller to launch the weap
