Design and Implementation of Unmanned Craft Training Simulator Based on Unreal Engine

Aiming at some issues of the traditional unmanned craft practical training effected by the actual training site, time and climate and other factors, and the low training efficiency, equipment consumption, training costs, this paper proposed a method of design and implementation of unmanned craft training simulator based on Unreal Engine. This method takes into full consideration of the layout and control logic of the unmanned craft to design the simulated control components. At the same time, combining with 3D MAX, the simulator utilizes Unreal Engine’s powerful graphic rendering ability and physical engine function to complete the development of learning, training and examination module of the unmanned craft training simulator software. The test results demonstrate that the unmanned craft training simulator has the features of real touch and force feedback of the control components, real motion simulation and control experience of the unmanned craft, realistic sound simulation and strong training immersion, etc. It can realize “learning, training, examination” integration effect, which can effectively improve the training efficiency and training safety, and reduce training costs.
