AIR DEFENSE TRAINING SYSTEMS

The Collective Training capability requirement of the US Army was met with the fielding of the Avenger-Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS).The system emulates missile and gun engagements using geometric pairing.

The Aircraft Survivability Equipment Trainer (ASET) IV Instrumentation Kit was also developed to provide realistic Force-on-Force and collective training. Both systems incorporate the SMart On-board Data Interface Module (SMODIM).

CURRENT SYSTEMS

AVENGER TESS

The Avenger Training System is a tactical U.S. Army weapon system that provides protection from hostile aircraft. Avenger weaponry consists of Stinger missiles and a .50 caliber machine gun. The Avenger is mounted on a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV).

The C-TESS Avenger integration comprises a SMODIM and peripherals that enhance the capability of the Avenger to interface with Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS) equipped aircraft and C-TESS players.

The C-TESS Avenger simulates missile and .50 cal gun engagements using geometric pairing as well as interfacing with the MILES .50 cal gun laser. Visual firing cues are provided with an omni-directional strobe light, and audio cues via the intercom.

The C-TESS Avenger system monitors the actions of the crewmembers and computes the Probability of Hit (Ph) calculations based upon crew actions. The Avenger functions just as it does in combat. The system requires no additional inputs thereby creating no negative training feedback.

ASET IV INSTRUMENTATION KIT

The Aircraft Survivability Equipment Trainer (ASET) IV provides a suite of threat-emitting training devices that support realistic Force-on-Force and Combined-Arms Training. The ASET IV instrumentation simulates Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA), infrared Surface to Air Missiles (IR SAM), Radar Frequency (RF) SAM, Command, Control and Communication (C3) air defense systems operations against “blue” aircraft. The AAA and RF SAM radar transmitters simulate the aircraft ASE systems.

The system consists of a SMODIM, a remote display unit, interface cables, two AAA simulators, two IR SAM simulators, one RF SAM simulator, and one C3 vehicle. The ASET IV utilizes Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) lasers to engage aircraft. The ASET IV training instrumentation is used by the US Army at Ft. Hood, TX.
