The guidance and control for the AFTI/F-16 Automated Maneuvering Attack System (AMAS) uses a multimode distributed processing network to perform the basic task of steering the aircraft to a continuously computed weapon delivery condition. The major functional elements of this system are target-state estimation, weapon-delivery solution computation, and flight-path control. These elements form a closed-loop, dynamic system with the attendant issues of stability, accuracy and transient response. AMAS is a highly integrated, complex system and this is reflected in the guidance and control algorithms. Both aerial gunnery and bombing modes are supported by the use of various targeting options and full-pilot blending and override. In addition to the basic weapon delivery system, a radar-altimeter-driven autopilot mode is provided to allow the pilot more time for targeting and monitoring tasks.
