Authentic Tactical Fighting System

Ground-based simulator training prevails as the most economical, safe and controlled approach to flight training when teamed with the limited use of live aircraft. However, most simulators have limited capabilities in terms of producing the most realistic flight training experience. This is attributable to their lack of motion during the simulated training experience.

The most effective simulators endeavor to provide high fidelity cockpits with realistic motion bases for the ultimate in training effectiveness.

The Innovation

ETC's Authentic Tactical Fighting System (ATFS) Series addresses the entire range of simulated flight training by offering a Series of simulators that provide simulation at all levels - from stationary ground based units to motion based units with high G forces.

Additional attention has been closely paid to ensuring that the development of a tactical combat environment, within this Series of simulators, is as close to the real thing as a pilot can come - without leaving the ground.

With more than 80% of all mishaps generating from human error, it is a critical element to be able to allow all aircrew to experience an adverse, in air event, prior to it actually occurring. This is the objective of the ATFS Series - to prevent mishaps completely by training more effectively in this unique flight environment.

The Payoff

ATFS-400 addresses all elements of simulation fidelity to provide an effective, realistic, and controlled training experience.
  • Cost savings for air combat training
  • Greater access to training
  • Increase in training efficiency
  • Reduction in loss of equipment
  • Higher degree of preparedness
  • Longer aircraft and engine service life due to less wear and tear
  • Greater training capability and flexibility
  • Ability to safely 'push the envelope
