NATO air forces need to achieve and maintain combat readiness of their air crew against increasing challenge and complexity of expected combat scenarios and, at the same time, decreasing availability of training sorties. ACMI (Air Combat Maneuvering Installation) is of great training quality benefit for air forces, specially for air-to-air tactics training. However, there are disadvantages. COMTESS was designed against the requirements for ACMI and uses GPS (Global Positioning System) for accurate and continuous position determination, leading to registration of trajectories and maneuvers. COMTESS provides accurate visual mission reconstruction and playback for detailed evaluation and debriefing of both air-to-air and ground attack missions, range independent and daily available at squadron level worldwide. The system allows for various combination of live flown missions with complex simulator flying. COMTESS is low cost, easy handling, and fits any Sidewinder compatible and/or MIL STD 1760 interface aircraft without any need of modification.
