Airspace Deconfliction of Civilian Aviation in Simulation for Training and Mission Rehearsal of the F-35 Lightning II

The F-35 Lightning II is equipped with the AN/APG-81 radar and the AN/ASQ-239 electronic warfare system. These systems can detect civilian aviation vehicles and infrastructure at ranges of hundreds of nautical miles (NM). Current simulation equipment does not provide sufficient fidelity of these potential targets, and therefore does not allow realistic training, analysis or mission rehearsal. Advanced Simulation Technology incorporated (ASTi) has a solution to this problem. ASTi’s Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC creates a dynamic, realistic, up to date simulation of civilian aviation vehicles, infrastructure, communications, electromagnetic emissions and operations. These simulated elements, incorporated into a training or mission rehearsal situation, allow Airspace Deconfliction of Civil Aviation to be performed in a high fidelity realistic environment.
