Considerable effort is now under way to develop technologies for enhancing fighter maneuvering limits. This has in part been motivated by the capabilities of advanced air-to-air missiles. One approach to enhanced combat effectiveness involves flight envelope expansion and improved controllability via engine thrust-vectoring and thrust-reversing. The complexity of fighter combat, however, makes it difficult to perform engineering analyses for assessing potential technological enhancements and risks. This paper describes a digital simulation that has been used to identify benefits associated with improved maneuverability. The Navy/Grumman F-14 aircraft provides the flight characteristics database. Combat tactics are developed as part of the solution process and are based solely on characteristics of the combatants and weapons employed. Head-on and codirectional neutral start combat engagements are used to illustrate study results.

The Cost

Abstract Advanced jet training still relies on old concepts and solutions that are no longer efficient when considering the current and forthcoming changes in air combat. The cost of those old solutions to develop and maintain combat pilot skills are important, adding even more constraints to the training limitations. The requirement of having a trainer aircraft able to perform also light combat aircraft operational mission is adding unnecessary complexity and cost without any real operational advantages to air combat mission training. Thanks to emerging technologies, the JANUS project will study the feasibility of a brand-new concept of agile manoeuvrable training aircraft and an integrated training system, able to provide a live, virtual and constructive environment. The JANUS concept is based on a lightweight, low-cost, high energy aircraft associated to a ground based Integrated Training System providing simulated and emulated signals, simulated and real opponents, combined with real-time feedback on pilot’s physiological characteristics: traditionally embedded sensors are replaced with emulated signals, simulated opponents are proposed to the pilot, enabling out of sight engagement. JANUS is also providing new cost effective and more realistic solutions for “Red air aircraft” missions, organised in so-called “Aggressor Squadrons”.
