ABSTRACT:
Simulation of amphibious vehicular environments, with a housing simulating part of a transport ship's hull, located at least partly over a body of water, movably mounted to simulate seagoing characteristics, and having ramp means adapted to extend onto the water, enabling the launching of amphibious vehicles from inside the housing and recovery of such vehicles back into the housing. Simulation is practiced by assembling and confining an amphibious crew in the housing, limiting the crew's perception of the external environment, providing cues perceptible by the crew as being characteristic of seagoing transport, furnishing the crew with an amphibious vehicle, instructing the crew in its operation, whether the vehicle floats by water displacement or hovers over the surface of the water, then deploying a launching-and-recovery ramp from the housing onto the water, launching the amphibious vehicle down the ramp, maneuvering it, and finally recovering it up the ramp and back into the housing.
