Common Helicopters
Abstract
Automated mission planning systems have focused on developing planning capabilities for fixed-wing aircraft, while the unique planning requirements for helicopters are not yet fully addressed. The unique and enhanced automated mission planning requirements that must be developed and implemented for helicopters include: data loading, an enhanced route editor (serpentine routing, hover), manipulation of higher fidelity (smaller scale) maps and imagery, enhanced performance tools (performance in and out of ground effect, performance degradation due to atmospheric conditions & elevation), and enhanced fidelity of landing zone, target zone, and threat analyses. The following type/model/series aircraft are supported by this PU: AH-1W/Z, UH-1N/Y, H-46/E, H-53D/E, H-60H/R/S and V-22. Common helicopter functionality will be developed for implementation in Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS).
