Abstract

The present invention relates to a training system for training of a forward controller. The training system utilises a pod housing that can be attached to a hardpoint under an aircraft wing. The pod is configured to receive communications from the forward controller on the ground (or in another aircraft) and communicate wirelessly with an HMD and / or electronic device in the cockpit of the aircraft. This allows cheaper, less expensive aircraft to be used for training purposes.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a weapon targeting training system and method therefor, and in particular to an aircraft based, Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) training system and method therefor.

[0002] The invention has been developed primarily for use in / with Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) weapon targeting systems and will be described hereinafter with reference to this application. However, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this particular field of use.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The United States Armed Forces typically use the term Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) for at least some of their forward air controllers. Other forces, such as NATO, use the term Forward Air Controller ...
