The purpose of the Firefighting and Learning in Augmented Reality Environments (FLARE) simulator was to create an mixed reality (MR) simulation to train airmen to use a Halon fire extinguisher on aircraft engine fires.
The purpose of the Firefighting and Learning in Augmented Reality Environments (FLARE) simulator was to create an mixed reality (MR) simulation to train airmen to use a Halon fire extinguisher on aircraft engine fires.
Summary
The students created a more immersive, inexpensive, and low risk training experience using a Halon fire extinguisher and a fire on an aircraft to arm future airmen with the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to be successful in the event a fire hazard occurs.
This was a continuation of the Flight PASS project.

Outcomes and Additional Information
The team was challenged to create a training tool that could realistically simulate weather and actions, reinforce proper technique, and provide user performance metrics.
The team created map with optional wind, different buildings and aircraft hangars, several aircraft models, and the ability to spawn fires on random aircraft.
