The Simulator Training Research Advanced Testbed for Aviation  (STRATA)
research simulation facility is available for use by organizations and
researchers (both government and commercial).  STRATA is a full fidelity
flight simulator which includes a Fiber-Optic Helmet-mounted Display
to present the outside world to the operator (or pilot).  The FOHMD
provides a virtually unlimited field of regard and is head and 
eye-tracked.  STRATA is wel-suited to applications and requirements
definition research for virtual environments, avionics and other
types of human performance research.  The image generator is the
evans and sutherland ESIG-1000.  For further information about
STRATA and the resource requirements for using it, please contact me.
