AFMSS – The world standard in mission planning systems

AFMSS

AFMSS

AFMSS, the world’s premier aircrew mission planner, provides the advanced capabilities required to effectively plan successful air missions anywhere in the world.

With AFMSS, total mission planning, from air tasking order to debrief, is rapidly accomplished for any aircraft, using any weapon, flying any mission. AFMSS supports single and multiple aircraft missions.

A turnkey solution to the mission planning needs of the international community, AFMSS provides maximum hardware and software flexibility and includes global logistics support for training, documentation, and software.

Total mission planning on a single workstation

The AFMSS MPS provides the aircrew with a single focal point for all mission planning, and is capable of receiving up-to-date threat and tasking information. The planner has all necessary information at his or her fingertips for prompt and effective planning.

Support for total mission

Threat analysis, terrain and target analysis, weapons delivery, route planning, mission preview, mission materials preparation, and other mission planning capabilities are installed in a flexible modular configuration. System capabilities are enhanced by adding or replacing software modules. Flexible Support for all Missions, all Aircraft, all Weapons Aircraft, Weapon, and Electronic System (A/W/E) Modules contain specific parametric data for a given aircraft or weapon. Adding support to AFMSS for any aircraft or weapon is simply a matter of installing an appropriate module.

Completed plans tailored to mission requirements

Mission plans may be printed as customized, full-color Combat Mission Folders. Mission-planning information may also be transferred to a Data Transfer Device (DTD) to be uploaded to the aircraft’s on-board computer. In addition, the completed mission plan can be transferred to a portable computer supplying the essential functions of the MPS aboard the aircraft.

Types of missions supported include:

  • Air interdiction
