Crew Training Made Better
Immersive & Collaborative Crew Training
The Rear Crew Mission Trainer (RCMT) is the benchmark for high-fidelity simulation, providing a safe, high-fidelity environment to hone mission-critical skills. It uses state-of-the-art Virtual and Mixed Reality alongside an accurate physical representation of the aircraft fuselage to provide an interactive training experience. By simulating complex operations such as gunnery, hoisting, and sling loads, the RCMT improves trainee proficiency while reducing the high costs and risks of live flight.
Interactive Training and Operational Benefits
The RCMT is a virtual training device developed to help rear crews practice mission-specific tasks with student-in-the-loop haptic interaction. This system allows personnel to train for dangerous operations, malfunctions, and emergencies without introducing risk to personnel or airframes.
​
Key benefits for government and defence operators include:
​
-
Improved Proficiency: Build advanced skills through repetitive practice in a secure environment.
-
Lower Operational Costs: Reduce the need for expensive flight hours by moving initial and advanced training to the simulator.
-
Sustainability: Achieve training goals with lower emissions and zero noise pollution.
-
Flexible Integration: Operate as a standalone device or link with a flight training device for collective crew exercises.
Multi-User Mission Readiness
The RCMT supports multi-user interaction for complete crew development across a variety of mission capabilities. Trainees can master aerial gunnery, rescue hoisting, and external load management in realistic, variable conditions.
​
The simulation provides high-level training for:
​
-
Mission Scenarios: Rehearse search and rescue (SAR), virtual replenishment, and fast roping.
-
Diverse Environments: Train for operations over-land, at sea, on ships, or on oil rigs.
-
Gunnery and Weapons: Master door and ramp aerial gunnery with dedicated weapon handling modules.
-
Crew Coordination: Improve communications and resource management between all crew members.
Custom Configuration and Independent Support
We recognize that every operator has specific requirements based on their fleet and mission profile. The RCMT is fully configurable to any fuselage type, ensuring the physical and virtual environment matches your aircraft exactly.
​
We offer independent expertise needed to keep these systems mission-ready:
​
-
Tailored Solutions - We help adjust the training device for operator-specific needs, including custom mission sets and weapon configurations.
-
Maintenance and Support - Our team provides technical staffing and "rate-of-effort" management to ensure maximum device uptime.
-
Ongoing Support - We manage regulatory requirements and technical upgrades to protect your investment and ensure training remains current.
