Hostile Fire Indications Modeling and Simulation (HFI M&S) (Navy)
Abstract
To mitigate the increasing threat of hostile fire from unguided munitions (UM), the Navy and Marine Corps have initiated programs that will expand the functionality of Missile Warning Systems on rotary wing aircraft to include HFI. UM include small arms, tracer rounds, Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) and Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs)/unguided rockets. This out-of-cycle FCT project will evaluate a non-developmental HFI M&S system currently in use with the UK. An integrated HFI M&S system will provide the Navy with: (1) a more realistic training experience through mimicking the capability of operational HFI systems fielded in theatre; and (2) avoid RDT&E, manufacturing, and procurement costs of over $8.000 million.
