The design and the development of modern fighter aircraft weapon systems has created an ever growing need for simulation activities. Especially manned simulation of combat missions in real time can provide invaluable information to the design engineers as well as to potential users of such weapon systems. The ground based Dual Flight Simulator (DFS) described here simulates air to air combat missions in real time for two different manned aircraft including avionics and armament. Each aircraft is flown by a pilot. The type of aircraft, its avionics and armament, can be modelled by exchangeable programs. In order to enlarge realism, the simulation covers a multiple target environment both in the visible range and beyond by infrared radiation radar sensors. The engagement scenario includes short range and medium range air to air missiles as well as the gun. The task area of the simulation covers mission performance assessments as well as the investigation of technical components during the research and development phase of future fighter aircraft systems.
