Demo 4 Simulation

The simulation system built by Lockheed at Lockheed expense for Phase 2 of the PA program 
consisted of a cockpit and a three screen out-of-the-window display environment.  The cockpit was built to replicate
the then-current emerging view of the cockpit of an Advanced Technology Fighter (ATF) that later became the 
Lockheed-Boeing F/A-22.  The simulation was capable of creating over a hundred dynamic entities, 50 of which
were capable of intelligent reaction to the behavior of other entities.  The out-of-the-window displays were able
to show high-fidelity representations of other entities such as the PA aircraft's wingman shown in this figure.
Since all missions were to  be flown at high altitude, the ground model was not a factor.  However, for other
purposes, a high-fidelity model of the local terrain was also available.
