MULTISIM: A Minimum Air-to-Air Combat Simulation Capability

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA205215 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This is an unclassified report of a pilot study, i.e., a study in which insufficient data are available to provide statistically conclusive results. All references are, therefore, limited to general evaluations of the capabilities of the networked simulators. According to the aviator participants, the networking of the simulators proved to be a very valuable training experience which could easily be enhanced by better planning if the equipment were more routinely available. The networked AH-1 and AH-64 simulators allowed an evaluation of the effectiveness of various weapons and tactics used in helicopter air-to-air combat ATAC. This included the ability to obtain comparative hit and kill ratios for each aircraft as a function of range and weapon. Helicopter, Air-to-air, Aerial combat, Simulation.
