The Norwegian Armed Forces already have Cobra single channel dome displays in service with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and now the Norwegian Institute of Aviation Medicine have ordered two F35 pilot training simulators, consisting of Cobra Simulation's Cobra150 AV Pro immersive display systems integrated with F35 cockpit simulators supplied by Bugeye Technologies Inc.

Pictured here is a Cobra150 dome display mounted on Bugeye’s F-35 cockpit with an F-35 style simulated ejection seat, high fidelity stick, throttle and rudder pedals and F-35 labels to give an immersive feel. The F-35 cockpit features a sliding left console and cockpit features that simulate an F-35 cockpit. The sliding console provides for ease of entry reducing accidental impact to the throttle assembly. Sliding console can be adapted for the right side for a Long Throw Stick aircraft or as needed. The Cobra150 AV Pro+ system featured includes a single channel 4k dome display delivering 150 degree by 66 degree field of view complete with an Image Generator (IG) from Novatech running Cobra True Dimension warping software.

The two simulators are targeted for delivery and installation over the summer with the aim of being in service by the autumn.

The medium-term impact of Covid19 restrictions on business is becoming clearer by the day. We at Cobra Simulation understand that maintaining our nations’ defence and critical national infrastructure capability remains vital - and a pandemic isn’t a short-term emergency, it’s a rising tide crisis spanning months if not years. So it isn’t just current missions that need supported - it’s also training capability and capacity to ensure the success of future missions.

We have taken steps to ensure that our supply chain and onward logistics remain intact, and we have adapted our working practices to ensure the resilience of our assembly capability. So we can assure all our existing customers that we remain ready to deliver support as required, and we will be delivering on new orders to our promised timelines.

ITEC is Europe’s primary forum for representatives from across the military, civil sector, industry and academia to connect and share knowledge about simulation, training and education. Sadly, with recent development and spread of COVID-19 ITEC 2020 has been postponed. We stand by ITEC and their decision with effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. The event will be rescheduled for a later date and we will commit all effort to ensure that Cobra Simulation will attend what is a massive event in the defence & simulation calendar.
