ParaSim - Virtual Reality Training SystemParaSim was developed by Systems Technology, Inc. for the US Forest Service Smoke Jumpers. ParaSim is also being used at the US Army Freefall School in Yuma, AZ and at a number of other military facilities around the world. It has a proven record for providing initial and recurrent training in parachute operations including malfunction recognition, emergency procedures, steering and landing. ParaSim uses Virtual Reality goggles to provide visual and audio inputs to the jumper. ParaSim receives inputs from the jumper through ripcord, riser and steering toggle sensors. The software is interactive, showing changes in the virtual scene based on the inputs from the jumper. The canopy reacts to the control inputs, including common malfunctions, responding to toggle or riser input, or requiring cutaway procedures. SSK has integrated OPANAS, ParaSim and MPS into the On-Target System to provide Virtual Reality Training for HAHO jumpers. Options include multiple jumpers, canopy malfunctions, variations of winds aloft from the forecast values and visibility restrictions. Ground features for actual mission targets can be derived from satellite images and input to ParaSim to increase the realism of the mission simulation.
