Embedded Training Capabilities for the LAMPS MK 3 System
Abstract
An SH-60 helicopter incorporation the Light Airborne MultiPurpose System (LAMPS) MK III was tested using the AN/SRO-4 UHF secure data link to AN/SQQ-28 Sonobuoy Processor at the Naval Air Test Center (NATC) Patuxent River, MD. During the time the helicopter was on the simulated mission, it 'dropped' sonobuoys and received normal mission feedback. This was done during testing of a potential wide-area network, with the acoustic stimulation for the LAMPS MK III accomplished by passing control and acoustic information from an ANN/SQQ-89 On-Board Trained (OBT) at Patuxent River via an on-site data link network. A master control unit was used to drive NATC's OBT from Fleet ASW Training Center, Norfolk, over normal telephone lines. Multiple OBT connections from the master control unit are possible and will further team training by combining expertise located at another training center with all other connected assets. Other additions to the OBT interface will provide additional aircrew radar training via the AN/ APS-124 Remote Radar Operator (REMRO) system and EW software upgrades. The OBT is used at NATC in evaluation of helicopter ASW subsystems as well as for training.
