Abstract
Systems, devices and methods are provided for training a user to control a gimbal in an environment. The systems and methods provide a simulation environment to control a gimbal in a virtual environment. The virtual environment closely resembles a real control environment. A controller may be used to transmit simulation commands and receive simulated data for visual display.
Claims20
A gimbal on-board a vehicle, comprising:
- a receiver, configured to receive a gimbal mode signal indicative of whether the gimbal is to be in an active mode or a simulation mode;
- a gimbal control system configured to:
- receive gimbal control data from a remote control system, and generate gimbal response data based on the gimbal control data from the remote control system;
- and
- in response to the gimbal being in the simulation mode, receive position data describing a simulated attitude of the vehicle generated from a vehicle control system on-board the vehicle and generate simulated gimbal response data based on the gimbal control data and the position data, the position data being at least partially based on simulated weather data;
- and
- one or more actuators configured to adjust an arrangement of the gimbal when the gimbal is in the active mode, or remain dormant and not adjust the arrangement of the gimbal when the gimbal is in the simulation mode.

A method of operating a gimbal on-board a vehicle, said method comprising:
- receiving a gimbal mode signal indicative of whether the gimbal is to be in an active mode or a simulation mode;
- receiving gimbal control data from a remote control system;
- generating, at a gimbal control system, gimbal response data based on the gimbal control data from the remote control system, wherein the gimbal response data is communicated to one or more actuators configured to adjust an arrangement of the gimbal when the gimbal is in the active mode and is not communicated to the one or more actuators when the gimbal is in the simulation mode;
- and
- in response to the gimbal being in the simulation mode, receive position data describing a simulated attitude of the vehicle generated from a vehicle control system on-board the vehicle and generate simulated gimbal response data based on the gimbal control data and the position data, the position data being at least partially based on simulated weather data.
