The method includes setting up a trainer simulator including opening a transportable shipping container, wherein the transportable shipping container includes a coupled integrated common base frame and a universal mount tower. The method includes assembling a seat and pivoting the universal mount tower from a horizontal position to a vertical position wherein the universal mount tower auto-locks into position. The method includes delivering ground vehicle based weapon system training to a user using a continuum of human interface fidelities that includes a first, second and third fidelity, wherein the user is first delivered training at a first fidelity, and then at a second fidelity and then at a third fidelity. A system for a mission reconfigurable trainer simulation is also presented. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mission reconfigurable trainer simulation system comprising: a transportable shipping container comprising a coupled integrated common base frame; the transportable shipping container further comprising a pedestal pole, a seat base and a seat; the integrated common base frame further coupled to an integrated universal mount tower, wherein the integrated universal mount tower is configured to be pivoted into an upright auto-lockable position; the integrated universal mount tower comprising an upper universal mount and a lower universal mount, wherein the upper universal mount is configured to accept from a plurality of vehicle variant-specific upper assemblies and the lower universal mount is configured to accept from a plurality of vehicle variant-specific lower assemblies; and a hardware application programming interface configured to receive application data, wherein the application data is associated with a user element directed to controlling a function via a hardware element within the trainer simulation system. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the hardware application programming interface is further configured to convert the application data from a first format to a second format. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the first format comprises a first range of values and the second format comprises a second range of values, and wherein the first range of values is associated with the user element and the second range of values is associated with the hardware element. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the hardware application programming interface is further configured to send, based on the second range of values, the application data in the second format to an application. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the first format comprises a normalized value. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system of claim 5, wherein the normalized value comprises a range from −1.0 to +1.0. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the converting the application data from a first format to a second format comprises creating a dead band. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein function comprises a steering component of the trainer simulation system. ### Claim 9 A method of simulation training for a crew member, the method comprising: deploying a trainer simulator including opening a transportable shipping container, wherein the transportable shipping container includes a coupled integrated common base frame and a universal mount tower, the universal mount tower comprising an upper universal mount and a lower universal mount, wherein the upper universal mount is configured to accept from a plurality of vehicle variant-specific upper assemblies and the lower universal mount is configured to accept from a plurality of vehicle variant-specific lower assemblies; receiving, by the trainer simulator, application data, wherein the application data is associated with a user element directed to controlling a function via a hardware element within the trainer simulator; converting the application data from a first format to a second format, wherein the first format comprises a first range of values and the second format comprises a second range of values, and wherein the first range of values is associated with the user element and the second range of values is associated with the hardware element; and sending, to the trainer simulator and based on the second range of values, a message associated with the hardware element. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the first format comprises a normalized value. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein the normalization value comprises a range from −1.0 to +1.0. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the user element is associated with a steering component of the trainer simulator. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the first format comprises incrementing and decrementing values and the second format comprises an incrementing value for a first hardware element and a decrementing value for a second hardware element. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the converting the application data from a first format to a second format comprises creating a dead band. ### Claim 15 A method of simulation training for a crew member, the method comprising: deploying a trainer simulator including opening a transportable shipping container, wherein the transportable shipping container includes a coupled integrated common base frame and a universal mount tower, the universal mount tower comprising an upper universal mount and a lower universal mount, wherein the upper universal mount is configured to accept from a plurality of vehicle variant-specific upper assemblies and the lower universal mount is configured to accept from a plurality of vehicle variant-specific lower assemblies; generating, by the trainer simulator, data, wherein the data is associated with a user element directed to a function of a hardware element within the trainer simulator; converting the data from a first format to a second format, wherein the first format comprises a first range of values and the second format comprises a second range of values, and wherein the first range of values is associated with the hardware element and the second range of values is associated with the user element; and sending, by the trainer simulator and based on the second range of values, the data in the second format to an application. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the second format comprises a normalized value. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the normalized value comprises a range from −1.0 to +1.0. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the user element is associated with a steering component of the trainer simulator. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the first format comprises an incrementing value for a first hardware element and a decrementing value for a second hardware element and the second format comprises incrementing and decrementing values. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the converting the data from a first format to a second format comprises creating a dead band.
