CAE MAVRC^™ Trainer

The CAE MAVRC™ Trainer (Mission Augmented Virtual Reality/Rear Crew Trainer) is one of CAE’s latest product innovations that leverages mixed reality technologies to create a digitally immersive and optimal training environment for rear crew.

The CAE MAVRC Trainer consists of an elevated, fully functional and reconfigurable physical replica of an aircraft fuselage. The detailed interior of the trainer comes complete with stimulated and simulated aircraft panels, including multi-function display and communications. Working port and starboard doors, flat and bubble windows and a fully functioning ramp facilitate the training of a range of scenarios typically required of rear crew, including aeromedical evacuation, search and rescue, surveillance, door gunner and confined area landings.

The immersive virtual environment provided by the CAE MAVRC Trainer enables extreme mission realism. The CAE MAVRC Trainer delivers mixed reality via a head mounted display (HMD). The HMD projects the out-the-aircraft virtual world, while allowing each crewmember to see everything existing inside the aircraft. Terrain, vehicles, weather and high-fidelity scenarios all help ensure crewmembers are fully immersed in the training tasks.

The CAE MAVRC Trainer allows for multiple and progressive modes for crew training, including standalone mode for rear crewmember training; integrated mode for coupling rear crew with pilots in a full-mission simulator or flight training device for whole crew training; and distributed mission operations (DMO) training mode where the aircrew is networked with other virtual training devices for complete tactical mission training.
