The Airborne Tactical Information Management System (ATIMS) project has previously demonstrated the potential benefits of exploiting advance onboard processing capabilities and the sharing of data and imagery between command and control elements and shooter aircraft. Capabilities to digitize the battle space and send data to the cockpit raised interest in the aircrews capabilities to effectively use the available information. The ATIMS Phase IIIa Advanced Information Flow Demonstration performed a preliminary assessment of the benefits of synthetic environments, enhanced tactical display and expanded C4ISR Real-time Information Into the Cockpit (RTIC) information to improve mission effectiveness, particularly in degraded environments. A Synthetic Vision (SV) concept was designed and implemented in a high fidelity cockpit dome located at Boeing Defense and Space Group Integrated Technology Development Laboratories in Seattle, Washington. Pilots flew the SV system in the dome to assess the potential of the SV system concept to improve tactical capabilities and the merit of continuing to refine the SV concept. This paper describes the Sensor-to-Shooter (STS) ATIMS Phase IIIa Demonstration objectives, problem background, technical approach, and results of the pilot assessments.
