New integrated circuit signal processing devices introduced by several manufacturers are usually considered to be for specialized applications. However, it will be shown that these devices are "ideally" suited for the real-time simulation of whole classes of dynamic subsystems. Furthermore, these devices could be used to replace analog components and/or hardware which are subject to aging, drifting and other factors that result in maintenance problems. Since practically all training devices involve placing a trainee in a realistic dynamic environment, these devices could impact the training device industry much like the GP digital computer. The technological techniques required to utilize these new signal processing chips will be presented. Finally, a survey of training devices that could be improved or reduced in cost by using these new devices will be presented.
