Abstract	The principal current project is a Navair-sponsored SBIR to develop a set of pilot models that can be used to simulate launch and recovery tasks for a variety of aircraft and shipboard environments. A Phase I completed in March 2004 saw the development of pilot models for the F/A-18 operating off a CVN and for the SH-60 off a DDG. Both cases involved multiple segment launch and recovery tasks, but without any atmospheric or ship motion disturbances. Presently a Phase I Option SBIR effort is producing a pilot model for the V-22 tilt-rotor performing a stationkeeping task over an LHA deck in a CFD-generated airwake disturbance field. This sets the stage for a Phase II SBIR that will see the F-35 added to the set of aircraft and ship motion and large CFD unsteady airwake models added to the various ship environments. Verification of the pilot models will be based on flight and simulator data as well as pilot commentary and operational procedures. The final product will be an analysis tool that provides a realistic pilot-in-the-loop context for examining aircraft operations from ships.
