Abstract: The article presents a training and diagnostic workstation designed for Polish Navy ASW helicopter navigators. Installed at the helicopter base, the workstation is used for training and instruction in operating the device and analysing information gathered by navigators during the flight using the ASW onboard sonar, sonobuoy receiver and magnetometer. The workstation allows instructors to task two operators and monitor their performance under conditions resembling those onboard a plane. The tasks involve the operation of the consoles and collecting information during tactical situations, diagnosing damage and analysing flight data in office environment. The objective is to ensure proper helicopter navigator training and experience given the limited possibility of training flights.
