The Keypad Contains:
• A set of fixed function keys (FFK), • A set of context-dependent programmable keys (PK), • A small joystick known as the “hook”.

KeyBuilder• The KeyBuilder Software allows a user of the OMIA system to
adjust the layout of a common cockpit programmable keypad. There are eight different types of keys– Blank key.– Transparent Key. Shows the key on the underlying layer.– Menu Key. Brings up a menu.– Table Key. Brings up a table and a layer with keys for
editing the table.– Layer Key. Navigates to a new layer.– Toggle Key. Toggles a system variable.– MultiStateToggle Key. Toggles between 2-12 items.– LinkedMenu Key. Brings up a menu and a new layer.
Example Menu & MenuBuilder
MenuBuilder
• The MenuBuilder utility has been developed so non-programmers, by answering a series of questions, can build from scratch or modify present menus.
• The MenuBuilder is not as evolved as the KeyBuilder so it is not as graphical.
• Examples of these questions:– Please enter the key name– Please enter the class name– Please enter window name– Please enter number of list

OMIA Configuration Settings• OMIA can teach both the Sierra and Romeo
versions of the helicopter.• The user can select either the Sierra or Romeo
helicopter.• They can select the pilot or co-pilot seat for the
Sierra or the pilot, co-pilot, or sensor operator seat for the Romeo.
• The user can select if they are flying solo, or if they are in a network configuration.
• If in a network configuration, they select either server or client.
Additional Hardware and the Mission and Flight Displays• If optional hardware is attached, OMIA and
Windows discover it and works correctly with it automatically.
• The simplest example is multiple monitors: the Mission Display and the Flight Display can be displayed on separate monitors, with one of the monitors also displaying the Center Console.
• One or more of the screens can be a touch screen, as is done in the Mission Avionics System Trainer (MAST).

MAST• The MAST includes actual hardware in the Center
Console that is exact aircraft hardware or a very close facsimile.
• The MAST is a medium resolution trainer driven completely by OMIA software and MS FS software.
• The MAST can be used for many different types of operations, including coordinated operations because the two seats can be used independently; or in conjunction so the pilot and co-pilot are flying the same mission.
Summary• OMIA Provides
– PC Rapid Modification Tool for Aircraft Experimentation – Training for the MH-60S/MH-60R Helicopters
• The complexity and number of the sensors under control of the crew on the MH-60S and MH-60R helicopters pose a difficult training task for the Navy.
• To meet this challenge the US Navy's PMA-205 in conjunction with Stottler Henke and various hardware vendors has developed and deployed OMIA, a flexible, low-cost PC-hosted desktop crew trainer.
• OMIA is a flexible solution leveraging COTS solutions, designed for evolving needs and able to be integrated with MS Flight Simulator and custom hardware for enhanced functionality.
