Crew Centered Armament System for High Technology Cockpit
Abstract
The future warfighting goals of battlespace dominance, precision force and information superiority will yield in the 2025 time frame the technology for a weapons delivery capability at the disposal of a single pilot that is unmatched in history. However, the need to minimize attrition coupled with the drawdown of force levels will mean fewer pilots and aircraft will be available for missions. When these valuable assets are used, the threat of attrition will be minimal. The maximum probably of success will be needed of every sortie flown. The gating technologies for this weapons delivery capability will be: (1) Battlespace Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), (2) Real time transfer of target assignment data into the cockpit, (3) Multisensor data fusion, (4) New high speed avionics architectures, (5) High maneuverability air to air missiles, (6) GPS guided small smart bombs, and (7) Advanced autonomous attack missile systems.
