Transatlantic Research into Air Combat Engagements (TRACE)

Abstract

The foundation for the Transatlantic Research into Air Combat Engagements (TRACE) program was laid in 1992 with discussions held between Hannes Ross of Daimler Benz Aerospace (Dasa) and Don Gum of Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). At that time both Dasa and AFRL were interested in the development of combat pilot aiding systems. Both countries felt that there was significant value in conducting evaluations comparing the performance of the two country's pilot aiding systems: Integrated Control and Avionics for Air Superiority (ICAAS), developed by AFRL, and Automated Maneuvering Attack System (AMS), developed by Dasa. Since both of these systems were in development at that time, simulation was chosen as the best approach to conduct comparative research Dasa had a simulation of AMS running at their facility near Munich, Germany, and Air Force Research Laboratory had an ICAAS simulation in Dayton, Ohio, USA.
