ON-BOARD AIRCRAFT EMBEDDED TRAINING CAPABILITY

THIS RESEARCH WILL INVESTIGATE PERFORMANCE MEAUREMENT TECHNIQUES AND COMPUTER SIMULATION TECHNIQUES REQUIRED FOR AN ON-BOARD AIRCRAFT "EMBEDDED TRAINING" CAPABILITY APPLICABLE TO BOTH TRAINING AND MUNITION CONCEPT EVALUATION. DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR ON-BOARD SIMULATION OF THE MUNITIONS TO ACCOMPLISH SIMULATED LAUNCH, FLYOUT AND TERMINAL ENGAGEMENT WILL BE DETERMINED. AVAILABILITY OF REAL-WORLD INPUT DATA FROM SELECTED SCENARIOS REQUIRED FOR EMBEDDED TRAINING WITH THE MUNITION SIMULATED WILL BE INVESTIGATED. DATA REQUIRED FOR MAN-IN-THELOOP TRAINING AND FEEDBACK INFORMATION ON MISSION SUCCESS WILL BE ANALYZED. THE FEASIBILITY OF INTEGRATING THE REAL-WORLD DATA WITH THAT DATA REQUIRED TO BE SIMULATED WILL BE INVESTIGATED. THE FEASIBILITY OF USING AN OPERATIONAL MUNITION ROUND AND REPLACING THE WARHEAT AND PROPULSION UNITS WITH THE COMPUTATIONAL HARDWARE FOR MUNITION SIMULATION (EMBEDDED TRAINING ROUND) WILL BE INVESTIGATED. THIS "EMBEDDED TRAINING ROUND" CONCEPT WILL BE COMPLETELY INVESTIGATED FOR CAPABILITY TO PROVIDE BOTH TRAINING AND MUNITION CONCEPT EVALUATIONS.
