ATFS-400: Authentic Tactical Fighting System

The ATFS-400™ is a high fidelity interactive, virtual tactical air combat maneuvering, flight simulator that is integrated into a state-of-the-art high performance "flyable" centrifuge motion platform. A modular design enables the ATFS-400 to authentically simulate the cockpit, dynamic performance, mission systems and interactive elements of a specific type and model aircraft in a specific tactical environment.

Features Include:
  • 25 foot planetary arm driven by a 6000 peak Hp induction drive motor
  • Three precisely controlled electro-mechanical motion drive systems
  • Gondola motion; ±360° rotation in pitch and ±360° in roll
  • Precise G-vector control "G-Pointing" to match aircraft maneuvering forces
  • Maximum G level of 15 G
  • Maximum G onset rate & G offset rate of 10 G per second
  • Modular cockpit with customer specified visual dome system
  • 120° h X 70° v wide field-of-view visual display
  • Force feedback control loading
  • Fully networked interactive operations in the Distributed Mission Operating virtual environment

Training activities that only the ATFS-400 can support include:
  • Simulated engagements from standoff to close-in and across full range of air combat
  • High Angle of Attack Maneuvering
  • Tactical Maneuvering Operations in a Multiple Aircraft environment
  • Tactical Engagements across the full Combat Threat environment
  • Threat Avoidance and defensive air combat maneuvering with combat damage
  • Interactive Engagement with Weapons Employment and full outcome simulation
  • G Refresher Training
  • Spatial Orientation Training
  • Situational Awareness in complex multi-threat day/night and all-weather environments
  • Unusual Attitude Recovery Training
