In the future data will be flooding into the cockpit from onboard sensors, offboard over-the-horizon and intelligence collection systems, and directly from friendly air and ground elements. Without onboard systems to help the crew analyze and use all this data, it will be overwhelming. Air crews will not be able to effectively understand what they face on the battlefield: who's out there, what issues require immediate attention, whether or not their current mission plan has been compromised, and what new plan would provide maximum advantage and minimum risk. However, with the right kind of decision aiding support, this data can dramatically improve survivability, lethality, and operational tempo. The Rotorcraft Pilot's Associate (RPA) team, sponsored by the U.S. Army Aviation Applied Technology Directorate (AATD) and comprised mainly of Boeing (MDHS) and Lockheed Martin (Federal Systems and ATL), has made significant progress in information management and decision aiding technology. This paper focuses on three aspects of RPA: (1) improved situation awareness provided by Data Fusion and Battlefield Assessment, (2) high-level mission replanning response controlled by the hierarchical Mission Planner, and (3) determination of optimal combat battle positions (CBPs) by the Attack Planner.
