Defense Acquisition, The Special Operations Forces Aircrew Training System at One Year
Abstract
The Special Operations Forces Aircrew Training System (ATS) is intended to integrate classroom, simulator, and in-flight aircraft training for seven different types of aircraft. The ATS has a weapons system training component and a mission rehearsal component. The weapons system component will provide a full range of aircrew, mission qualification, and upgrade training. The mission rehearsal component will simulate combat scenarios anywhere in the world, involving multiple types of aircraft, within 48 hours of a specific tasking by the National Command Authority. The mission rehearsal component requires the development of a computer-generated, interactive model that simulates in-flight images of what might exist in actual combat environments flown at low altitudes. It will depict out-of-the-window air and ground support as well as enemy forces and allow a crew member to communicate or engage in battle, respectively. This interaction will allow crew coordination in a simulated hostile environment performed under night vision, flying over various terrains, and in different weather conditions. To achieve this level of effort will require the development of complex software.
