EHUD enables a smooth transition into the LVC (Live Virtual Constructive) world due to its advanced infrastructure that supports embedded constructive entities and simulation sensors. The infrastructure also interconnects with flight and mission simulators and runs joint scenarios. The EHUD family is complemented by advanced mobile and fixed ground stations and a complete range of support equipment.
OVERVIEW
The EHUD AACMI (Autonomous Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation) is a unique real-time air combat training, debriefing, and safety enhancement system for fighter aircraft pilots. EHUD enables live training at a sophisticated level, including simulated armament firing, real-time hit and miss assessments, and exceptional debriefing capabilities, providing pilots with realistic and effective mission experience.
Comprehensive Training Capabilities
The EHUD system provides advanced air-to-air and air-to-ground training with weapon simulations and debriefing capabilities. It includes an enhanced safety suite based on an advanced algorithm and a solid test and flight record. The system has been improved through testing and operation on 20 different combat aircraft.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Maximizes the cost-effectiveness of live training
- Provides effective training and debriefing
- High fidelity air-air and air-ground weapon simulation, and tactical flight training in a hostile environment with live and virtual electronic warfare (EW) threats
- Realistic tactical engagement training for fighters including missile simulations, scoring, and effects
- Real-time hit and miss assessments
- Full interoperability with de-facto NATO standard FPR-EHUD ACMI training datalinks
- Enhanced safety capabilities including air to air collision alert, ground collision-avoidance and ‘watch-dog’ on airspace and platform restrictions
- Debriefing and reconstruction of flight data, with synchronization of video and audio data
- Used by 17 air forces in important fighter jets including F-15, F-16, F-18, Eurofighter Typhoon, Su-30, Mig 29, and many more
- Can be used with AIM-9L, R73 and SEMAC enclosures
Values & Benefits
Due to the modularity of the system, EHUD is interoperable with additional systems such as those used with helicopters, air defence, naval, and ground ranges, allowing for joint battlespace integration.
Using COTS (commercial off-the-shelf software) and minimizing aircraft certification requirements while maximizing reliability and operational flexibility ensures that the EHUD system maintains a low life cycle cost (LCC).
