The US Navy's PMA-205 in conjunction with Stottler Henke has developed and deployed a tool that can be used for training and AOP experimentation for the US Navy's new MH-60S and MH-60R helicopters. The tool, called the Operator Machine Interface Assistant (OMIA), is primarily an expandable, easily modifiable low-cost PC-hosted desktop crew trainer. OMIA is currently in use for training at HSC-2, HSC-3 and HSM-41. However, since both helicopters have been constantly evolving through the development process of OMIA and continue to evolve now and in the future, OMIA had to utilize flexible, low-cost, rapid development methods. This reality has resulted in a product that is not only valuable for training, but is also useful for Avionics Operational Program (AOP) experimentation, design and testing. For example, both the MH-60S and MH-60R helicopters include Lockheed-Martin's Common Cockpit that includes a programmable keyset (PK) as part of the center console. Changes to the PK have been a major component of the helicopter's evolution. To more rapidly deal with these changes, we have developed the separate KeyBuilder tool, which allows a non-programmer to update the programmable keyset via a drag and drop interface.
