This contractual effort was directed to the study to determine, examine and evaluate the cost and effectiveness of alternate methodologies for providing simulation capabilities of airborne sensor displays likely to be operational on combat aircraft throughout the 1980's and early 90's at levels of fidelity appropriate to R&D in flight simulation at the Flight Dynamics Laboratory. This study examined the state of the art and the projected technology of sensor systems adaptable to the combat aircraft engaged in threat environment in varied atmospheric weather conditions in dawn, dusk, night and day light. Some of the advanced sensor systems which were the focus of attention are the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infra Red System for Night (LANTIRN), Target Acquisition/Designator System (TADS), Pilot Night Visual System (PNVS), and Multispectral Target Cuing (MYSTIC). These systems employ some technology of Low-Light Level Television (LLLTV), Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and Laser Radar. The methodologies of simulating these sensor systems and integrating them to the out-of-the-cockpit image generation systems available at FDL for full mission environment were investigated and recommendations addressing the future additions to and modifications of the facilities at FDL were presented.
