F-16 Multitask Trainer/Weapon System Trainer Entity Limit Upgrade

Abstract

In preparation for this research effort entitled, "Multi-Distributed Training Testbed, Air-to-Air," or MDT2 Air-to-Air, which had a requirement to handle up to 14 independent, dynamic aircraft entities, it was brought to light that the existing Weapons System Trainers (WSTs) in use at the Aircrew Training Research Division of Armstrong Laboratory's Human Resources Directorate(AL/HRA) had real-time limitations of only five dynamic, independent aircraft. The reason for this was that Operational Flight Trainers(OFTs) had the five-target limit and the WST code(which was the same as the Air Force Reserve Multitask Trainer [MTT] code) based on the OFT legacy code. The purpose of this technical effort was to modify the F-16 WST software to enable the WST to handle up to 25 independent, dynamic aircraft generated in a Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) network and handed to the host through a network interface unit.
