Cirrus Managing Director Mr. Peter Freed has announced that
Drop 3 of the Cirrus Air Combat Officer Training System (ACO-TS) has now
entered into operational service with the RAAF School of Air Warfare (SAW, East Sale ).
This follows completion by the RAAF of two months of
Operational Test and Evaluation of the upgraded ACO-TS. Cirrus was contracted
in Dec 2011 by DMO Training Aircraft Systems Program Office (TASPO), to develop
the upgraded ACO-TS. Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) completed in June 2012, and
ACO-TS completed acceptance testing and airworthiness certification ahead of
schedule in August 2012.
The wide-ranging project improved ACO-TS display and
management of tactical and mission data, with the centre-piece being
improvements to the radar simulation, addressing rendering of ground terrain to
30m x 30m fidelity replete with cultural features (roads, dams etc.), and
modeling of environmental impacts on sensor imagery.
The Cirrus ACO-TS is based on Cirrus Simulation Training
Network and Sensor Simulation Engine (STN & SSE) technologies which have
been adapted to meet the RAAF’s requirements under previous contracts.
Mr Freed stated that "The engineering undertaken on this project spans a wide range of activities usually regarded as high risk, including scientific algorithms, complex software development and integration and formal aerospace regulatory processes. Cirrus’ team is very pleased to have delivered ahead of schedule and to our client’s high expectation, and we are particularly pleased with the close cooperation we have enjoyed with TASPO and SAW over the course of the project.”
Mr. Freed also announced that TASPO has recently issued it
new taskings related to the provision of additional software and services for
the ACO-TS support infrastructure.
