Raytheon Revolutionary Cockpit for Unmanned Aircraft
October 31, 2006
Raytheon have created an unmanned aircraft cockpit. This cockpit is cabaple of handling multiple unmanned aircraft. Raytheon have also said that this will reduce potential accidents, improve training and decrease costs. They built it from 35 years of experience and broke down the operators tasks and objectives and built the system around those needs. The display is a wrap around type display as can be seen below, which gives a wider view for the pilot controling the aircraft.
The cockpit gives the user the option of standing or sitting and has flexibility to work with a variety of needed functions. The intuitive interface is what makes the UAS operators more effective in learning the UCS system.
