Aerial Weapons Scoring System (AWSS)
Orlando, FL
The AWSS is an objective scoring system that supports live Army aviation gunnery training. AWSS provides scoring for 2.75-inch training rockets, both point detonation and multipurpose sub-munitions, area scoring and hit location for a variety of machine gun weapons, and laser scoring of the Hellfire training missile. Four systems are provided for U.S. training exercises and are deployed as needed to support homestation training events. The fifth system is stationed in Grafenwoehr, Germany and supports training both in Germany and in other European countries. The sixth system is stationed in Korea and supports Pacific theater training events. An annual scheduling conference, held in conjunction with the Aviation Master Gunner's Conference, prepares a baseline schedule for deployment of the U.S. systems for the following fiscal year.
Aerial Weapons Scoring System Integration with Longbow Apache Tactical Engagement Simulation System
Orlando, FL
AWSS LBA TESS provides the LBA pilots the ability to conduct force-on-target engagements using live ammunition for 30mm and rocket engagements and simulated Hellfire missile engagements. The SMart Onboard Data Interface Module (SMODIM) sends altitude, heading, speed, trigger-pull and pairing-line engagements from the AH 64D to the ground station to be used in after action reviews. Pilots and commanders use sophisticated AAR tools to train, rate and score the pilot's gunnery performance for instant, positive, value-added feedback.
Air Defense Scoring Systems and Services
Orlando, FL
Scoring augmentation is available for installation on a variety of both aerial and ground live targets. Real-time feedback of scoring data is available by detecting and counting bullets' Miss Distance Indications (MDI) that penetrate a predetermined Radio Frequency (RF) field around the target. After Action Review (AAR) reports are generated by the support contractor and provided to the unit immediately after completion of the mission. Scoring is contractor operated. Training support is scheduled with PM ITTS Target Management Office.
SSN Torpedo Room Training
Orlando, FL
Training includes loading MK48/ADCAP and Tomahawk Missiles in the MK67 torpedo tube. A MK48/ADCAP MK10 Torpedo Mounted Dispenser (TMD) or the 4 foot section of the Tomahawk capsule can be loaded into the MK69 torpedo tube. Training includes attachment of the electrical/pneumatic umbilical penetrators and operation of the interlock mechanism.
Underwater Weapons System Laboratory (UWSL)
Panama City, FL
This laboratory is for the development and testing of highly sensitive magnetometers, for mapping and measuring the magnetic fields around objects, for the analysis of motional noise in superconducting magnetic gradiometers, and for evaluating magnetic sensing systems based on the principles of superconductivity. Facilities include the capability to physically stimulate or simulate magnetic, pressure, and acoustic influence fields individually or in combination via computer control. The laboratory provides a calibrated test bed for acoustic and magnetic measurements.
