A system, apparatus and method for optimizing the conduct of a close-in air combat are disclosed. A computing device is operative in the analysis of a close-in air combat situation. The computing device stores and utilizes one or more aerial aircraft-specific, weapon systems-specific and close-in air combat-situation-specific information. The computing device is operative in the analysis of the current air combat situation (12) and in the generation of a flight control recommendation (40). Consequently, the recommendation is converted into an indication having visual or audio format to be communicated to the operating crew of the aerial vehicle. The recommendation could further to be converted into specific flight control/energy commands and to be introduced directly to the control systems of the aircraft.
A system for optimizing the performance of an operating crew of at least one aerial vehicle during at least one close-in air combat by providing in real-time automatic situation assessment and by generating dynamically at least one indication and by communicating the at least one indication as guidance to the operating crew of the at least one aerial vehicle, the system comprising the elements of an assessment information database implemented on at least one computer;
In a virtual aerial combat environment a system for optimizing the performance of an operator of at least one virtual aerial vehicle during at least one virtual aerial engagement by providing automatic situation assessment and by generating dynamically at least one maneuver or energy instruction and by communicating the at least one maneuver or energy instruction as maneuver or energy guidance to the operator of the at least one virtual aerial vehicle, the system comprising the elements of:
A method for optimizing the performance of an operating crew of at least one aerial vehicle during at least one close-in air combat by providing in real-time automatic situation assessment data and by generating dynamically at least one instruction and by communicating the at least one instruction as guidance to the operating crew of the at least one aerial vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
An apparatus for optimizing the performance of an operating crew of at least one aerial vehicle during at least one close-in air combat by providing in real-time automatic situation assessment, the apparatus comprising:
