The US Navy's PMA-205 in conjunction with Stottler Henke has re-designed and re-implemented the partial task trainer (PTT) for the Common Cockpit of the new MH-60S and MH 60R helicopters. The tool, called the Operator Machine Interface Assistant (OMIA), is an expandable, easily modifiable low-cost PC-hosted desktop crew trainer. OMIA-JAVA is currently in use for training at HSC-3 and HSM-41 at NAS North Island and HSC-2 at Norfolk NAS; and is continuing to evolve to match the changing helicopters. OMIA is now implemented in Java and can be run on NMCI (Navy/Marine Corps Intranet) computers. This new implementation allows the software to have all the benefits of a `portableapp', and a web-based application. OMIA-Java can be delivered as a Java web-start application or users can download a simple zip file. The contents of the zip file are extracted and then the product can be run directly on the user's computer without any further installation or administrator privileges (aka a `portableapp'). This allows the software to run on any Windows machine that already has a Java virtual machine installed, such as standard NMCI computers. This also allows OMIA-Java to run from external USB "thumb drives". Formerly, OMIA was used in dedicated classrooms and on personal machines. In both cases, administrator access was required to install OMIA. However, most aviators have access to NMCI computers everywhere they go so this is the most convenient platform to deliver to.
