Abstract
Inflight training apparatus is provided for military aircraft radar warning receivers that is plug compatible with the standard receiver processor to provide realistic training scenarios responsive to pilot maneuvering while recording the pilot's actions for post flight analysis. The training apparatus includes inertial navigation equipment to indicate position and attitude of the training aircraft, a memory in which is stored position and types of enemy radars and threats that would be encountered on an actual combat mission, and a processor which receives inputs from the inertial navigation equipment, memory and radar warning receiver control panel to control the standard receiver video display to generate the training scenario thereon. The training display moves, rotates, and is blanked simulating the effects of aircraft altitude and attitude as the aircraft turns, banks and performs other maneuvers which may be navigational or evasive maneuvers.
