Abstract:

The LATAGS system will allow aerial gunnery training over inhabitated areas with no live ammunition. The proposed LATAGS system will also allow free play of the aircraft and calculate the bullets hit and miss distances from a aerial banner. in the old system the laser is pointed to a point in space for the lead expected in a typical gunnery run. The old system does not compensate for variations in gs, range, angular rates or attitude of the aircraft. The new system measures the ranges, angular rates, piper location and calculates the actual lead required for a hit. An expert system will play back the sight picture and show where each round impacted hit or missed in the plane of the towed where. The data, stored on a removeable RAM card, will be transported to the ready room where it will be analyzed by an expert system software program in a PC. MS Simulation, Air to air, Gunnery, Laser.
