Over the last decade, advances in technology have contributed to the development of high fidelity, multi-channel, dynamic motion seats that can be integrated into new training devices or retrofitted for use in existing devices. These dynamic motion seats have also been introduced into select training devices for evaluation. This paper provides a brief history of dynamic motion seats including the development of seat cueing technology, summarizes the attributes of available seats, and discusses the factors associated with the implementation of the dynamic motion seat including physical issues and software issues. This is followed by a discussion, supported by empirical study results, describing the application of the seats in various training environments including rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft as well as in fixed-base and motion-based trainers. Evaluations of the use of dynamic motion seats in these environments concluded that the seats improve overall training effectiveness and the training of specific tasks.
