Targeting system and simulator therefor

A method of operating a targeting system simulation tool (TSST), comprising:

• providing a TSST;
• providing the TSST with a first value, value range, or value limit for an aircraft parameterization;
• providing the TSST with a sensor parameterization;
• providing the TSST with an autonomy parameterization, an obstacle/effect parameterization, and a simulation parameterization;
• and
• operating the TSST to generate a second value, value range, or value limit for the aircraft parameterization, the second value, value range, or value limit enabling a lower likelihood of collision between an aircraft and an obstacle as compared to the first value, value range, or value limit;
• and
• operating the TSST to visually display the aircraft travelling along a three dimensional flight path as altered by the autonomy parameterization and using at least one of the first value, value range, or value limit and the second value, value range, or value limit for the aircraft parameterization.
