Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of using the Advanced Simulator for Pilot Training (ASPT) in training pilots for combat in a simulated hostile environment. A combat environment was developed in which the A-10 aircraft was flown. The environment included mountaineous terrain, enemy surface-to-air missiles (SAM) and anti aircraft artillery (AAA). The offensive target was a tank located at random along the roadway. The pilots flew the mission in real time and were scored on offensive and defensive procedures. They showed clear learning for those procedures in the simulator.
