Abstract	This presentation describes our main ongoing project during 2005-2006, the development of pilot behavioral models for flight operations near ships. This work described is part of an SBIR Phase II project sponsored by the Naval Air Warfare Center AD at Patuxent River, Maryland. These behavioral models consist of a set of multi-axis, multi-segment representations of the human pilot that can simulate the launch and recovery of several diverse types of US Navy aircraft, i.e., the F/A-18 Hornet, MV-22 Osprey, AV-8 Harrier and SH-60 Blackhawk. Each simulation can be driven by a variety of disturbances, including CFD airwake, turbulence and ship motion. The ships from which the aircraft operate are modeled in the Navy Control Analysis and Simulation Test Loop Environment (CASTLE). The aircraft and ship combinations are the F/A-18 and a CVN (Nimitz-class carrier), the SH-60 and a DDG (Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer with Flight IIA deck layout), and the AV-8 or MV-22 and an LHA (Tarawa-class amphibious assault carrier).
