1. October Meeting Modeling and Simulation Using Real World Terrain and Linkage to SYstemS Engineering Speaker: David A Findley, Boeing Flight Simulation Databases Date & Location: 25 October, 2012, Boeing B64 Lobby Conf Room 235 Brown Bag Lunch / Presentation: 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Abstract: Use of system engineering principles will be introduced and applied to simulation capabilities, coordinate systems, aircraft simulations and databases. A review of the applications of geodesy to solve these “real world” problems and applied to emulative simulators and databases using WGS-84 terrain with high fidelity, real time databases will be discussed. A linkage will be shown to system engineering V and conclusions drawn. Biography: Dave has been in flight simulation for over 35 years and is the subject matter expert and developer of databases for all St. Louis out-the-window and sensor databases. He has worked on commercial simulators at Conductron, F-15 inlet development in the propulsion group, and F-15 flight simulation. His co- author, Bill Bezdek, has over 41 years in his career at McDonnell-Douglas Corporation (MDC) / Boeing in St. Louis and is a Boeing Technical Fellow in Modeling and Simulation. He is the Past President of INCOSE Midwest Gateway Chapter and president of the Missouri Society of Professional Engineers (MSPE) St. Louis Chapter.
