CHAPTER 4
TACTICS
4 - l . GENERAL. The CMS, having full mission tactical weapons capability, enables
the pilot and/or CPG trainee to practice and improve proficiency in missions
involving missile and rocket delivery and gunnery exercises. The following
armament systems and components are simulated and interfaced with the computer via
signal-conditioning equipment:
M-230E1 30-mm area weapon system
Point target weapons system (Hellfire)
Integrated helmet and display sight system (IHADSS)
Optical relay tube (ORT)
Pilot night vision system (PNVS)
Aerial rocket control system (ARCS)
Target acquisition and designation system (TADS)
Laser rangefinder/designator
Video display unit (VDU)
APR-39 radar warning receiver
ALQ-136 radar jammer
ALQ 144 IR jammer
M-130 chaff dispenser
Video recorder system (VRS)
4-2. VISUAL SIMULATION. The simulated environment consists of out-the-window
displays for the pilot and CPG trainees with tactical targets in the visual scene.
Scorable targets of opportunity are provided in the visual scene at selected loca-
tions in the form of military vehicles or missile launching sites. The display also
portrays such weapon effects as rocket and missile flightpaths, weapon burnout,
target or ground impact. The sensor displays also present similar effects for the
pilot and CPG trainees with appropriate field-of-view and sensor-sighting direc-
tions. Reticles and symbology are included as necessary.
4-3. TRAINING. To initiate a problem, the pilot or CPG instructor can choose
selected targets as movable targets that will be displayed on the ORT or out the
window. Velocity is under instructor control, and direction of the moving targets
is along predetermined pathways in the visual scene. Weapon loading is carried out
by the instructor by means of IOS console CRT/keyboard action. There are 15
different weapon loading configurations available. The current status of remaining
armament is presented on one of the IOS CRT status area and is based on the initial
conditions of the weapon loading configuration and weapons previously fired.
4-4. EVALUATION. The instructor is provided with weapon scoring data on a CRT
page. The displayed data provides the number of rounds fired, hit/miss status, and
miss distances, displayed as distance, long or short, left or right, and high or
low, where applicable. The aural cue system provides for simulation of normal and
abnormal sounds that make up the cockpit acoustic environment. Weapon sounds
include: ARCS, Hellfire, and area weapon system 30-mm guns.
