The invention provides a
night vision training situational sand table and a control method thereof. The situational sand table has the design content including town, river, mountain, suburb and desertparts. The town part includes buildings, high-
voltage lines, line towers, roads, a variety of
artificial light sources, and other common man-made scenes. The river part includes lakes, rivers and other common
natural water scenes. The mountain part includes mountains, bridges, highways, cars on mountain roads, multi-contrast
green vegetation under low-light conditions, high-
voltage lines, line towers and other common man-made and natural scenes. The suburb part includes bungalows, high-
voltage lines, line towers, chimneys, airports, control towers, trees and other common man-made and naturalscenes. The desert part includes sand dunes and other common natural scenes. The situational sandbox can be used in
night vision training to help the flight
crew become familiar with the characteristics of common topographic and geomorphic conditions during naked
sight flying and flight using a low-light-level
night vision device and to ensure the
flight safety.
