In a Brick building on a Remote Side of the company s Sowerby research Center the psychologist in the company s Hii num factors department works amid German Fields and villages in pleasant rolling Countryside. Ona3uo-to-l scale. Researchers have been using Small scale models in simulate real life for years but never in the Way Stone is using the Hilda Shim Model As the stage in a High tech military video production studio. The British aerospace Model is unique in its accuracy and concept. Much of the data used in building the Model has been taken from computer images of the real Hildesheim re searchers have travelled to Hildesheim near Hannover on several occasions to photograph and take notes of details there. Stone said the town has the kind of Topography that Sui cd the project. We wanted gentle undulating terrain. Nothing too  said. If there is a House it s Here Stone said of. The Loyline 25-by-100-foot Model that spans about half the floor space in the old building Oil grounds once used by the Royal air Force. The Model is exact right Down to the Pilch of the roofs and the curves in the roads. There Are thumbnail sized ears on the pavement and tree lined Fields with lire tracks that give the impression Liny tractors have been blowing. British aerospace originally built the Model for research on a remotely piloted vehicle or full a the Remote control planes often used for i Connis Sance. The company finished that work and now among other things is help ing the British army and the Raf make videos for training programs.,on a system of tracks a video Cam Era can Span the entire Model at vary ing speeds Heights and angles relaying pictures Back to a Monitor it can simulate an i v or a Tornado Stone said. It can go dead slow or it can go much  technicians in a Small control Booth at one end of the room can alter the weather by degrading he picture Quality to the viewer watching the screen the Sec pcs look completely real 1 by changing lenses.

Stone can create pictures that look As if they were taken from a plat form or from a Jet screaming Over tree i a British research technician Lynn Down la make an adjustment in the terrain Model of  a Bristol k tops at Breakneck speeds. The camera also can simulate ther Mal images by sending Back negative pictures to a Black and White to screen buildings Fields bodies of water and vehicles have been painted. With special colors to make them took hotter or colder than others when they show up on the Monitor. Which is where Stone s work comes in the psychologist studies . Of people who in turn arc studying the simulated Thermal images conies of what they would see in reconnaissance work. They try to detect targets in the pictures she  targets they lend to  How they be have As they watch. Squadron Leader Sieve Lloyd com Mander of the Brit Josh military joint school of photo interpretation at Raf Wyton uses the fake Thermal images As Well. In november Lloyd and a British army officer started a six month project that will yield about 100 training tapes. He said the British aerospace Model is providing him with imagery he could not gel elsewhere. Students ,11. Inc. Military school training to be photo and image interpreters will learn to spot the differences Between such things As German farm machinery and a carefully hidden Warsaw 1 act tank. Lloyd s school will1 teach students How and where to recognize targets icy May Sec someday on film taken from the Raf a new recon Naissance version of the Tornado fighter. The army will be using a similar system on an rpm called Phoenix. Its a very realistic simulation Lloyd said of the. British aerospace project. His alternatives none. 11 would have been teaching out of a Book or taking it on a slide. This brings the Book alive for it  the Model which the company Esti mates Cost several Hundred thousand dollars to build,.can Lake Lloyd s my dents on a . Run. Across the German Countryside in the classroom without using a drop of fuel army students can learn the applications of the reconnaissance it v before i hey Ever go to the Field. Stone said their Mode fills a few gaps left in the computer models. Computers she said Are not the Best Way of doing this. You ran t have the to ass of detail and it would be a Mammoth ask to program All the  researchers can be More flexible with the Model Loo. If necessary work ers can fool with nature a Little and add a Forest or a Mountain or two to the Countryside. La would take powerful computers to give the same kind of realism and pro Jdc the same kind of flexibility. Stone said. Lloyd who is upping simulations of what he thinks the Warsaw pact order of Buttle could by admits he could get bet Ler training with Lite real thing jul he d rather not go to War and has yet to figure out a Way to get real live War saw i aet forces to pose for the camera they arc not a cooperative of he said.
