Eurofighter Training Aids take big Step ahead

Hallbergmoos (OTS) - The Eurofighter ASTA team on Friday completed
the Acceptance Testing of the latest software for the Aircrew
Synthetic Training Aids (ASTA) with software load 1.0 standard in
Manching. This new software will significantly increase the training
capabilities of the Eurofighter Typhoon partner air forces especially
in the field of mission simulation.

The new functionalities include Networking Capability meaning that
two training devices (Cockpit Trainers or Full Mission dome
simulators) can perform the same training mission interactively. With
full Air to Air Radar functionality and full weapon indication,
performance and failure simulation for the Armament Control System
with AIM-9L, ASRAAM and AMRAAM new performance steps can be taken in
training pilots. The pilots see the fired missiles and experience the
aircraft's reaction after launch.

With Computer Generated Forces (CGF) functionality now introduced
other aircraft such as wing man, tankers or hostile aircraft can be
introduced into the training scenario. The operator can support the
training session with various role play options from the Instructor
Station.

Multiple active malfunctions can be reproduced as the training aid
uses the aircraft's software that has been re-hosted onto the
simulator system.

Dr. Matthias Hammer, ASTA Joint Team Leader, heralded the
delivery: "This is a key achievement in the ASTA programme and
highlights a success based on the concerted effort from all involved
companies and their staff."
