![]() ![]() An additional study objective was to review and document the current operating status of the EMD (Energy Maneuverability Display) and make recommendations for updating software and revising display formats to improve their instructional value. Recommendations would also be provided for presenting algorithms output in display formats that would be meaningful and diagnostic to aircrews. It is envisioned that a product of the research would be an up-to-date algorithm that would combine energy maneuverability and position advantage assessment capability. The present study was conducted to bring to focus the fragmented research efforts performed in the position advantage area and integrate the results with available energy metrics. Strong evidence was found for the efficacy of including measures of control activity in TACSPACE segments corresponding to offensive and defensive positions. Large differences were found between the models in their ability to account for performance variance. These models vary greatly in complexity as different sizes of TACSPACE segments and different analyses within the TACSPACE segments were tested. ![]() Several different performance measurement models were developed from the TACSPACE analyses. This approach divided each engagement into segments according to the relative positions of the proposed and opponent aircraft in terms of aspect angle, line-of-sight angle, and range between aircraft. An existing database of time history data collected during ACM free engagements on the Simulator for Air-to-Air Combat (SAAC) was re-analyzed using an analyses scheme called TACSPACE. The rapidly evolving technology in ground-based flight simulation and the data collection and analyses capabilities of the airborne Air Force Air Combat Maneuvering Instrmentation/Navy Tactical Combat Training System (ACMI/TACTS) show promise for providing the kinds of data needed for detailed air combat maneuvering performance measurement. Air combat maneuvering free engagements provide a challenging environment for the measurement of aircrew performance. ![]()
