Prescient’s proven Advanced Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (AACMI) System is a cutting-edge, three-dimensional tracking and recording system that provides rangeless, real-time training, monitoring and debriefing for aerial combat. It presents capabilities for an objective training and assessment via real-time monitoring, recording and replaying of missions for briefing and debriefing of combat aircrews. 

Our AACMI System features: 

The Pod 

Designed with the same aerodynamics performance of an actual missile pod, our AACMI pod is an exact replica of the missile type used. The homogeny includes its physical dimensions, weight, mechanical and, electrical and EMI/EMC characteristics. Our AACMI pod allows for real-time data transmission, reception and relay between the aircraft and the ground Real Time Monitoring Station, as well as storage for combat outcome assessment and debriefing. 

The AACMI pod, incorporated with GPS satellite technology, is retrofitted onto the aircraft. The flight data is captured and recorded in data cartridges that can be easily removed for After-action review at the Real Time Monitoring Station or Ground Debriefing Station. 

Real Time Monitoring Station  

The combat and flight data of the aircrew is relayed at the Real Time Monitoring Station. These data is used to monitor the training scenarios in real time as well as to conduct post flight debrief during the After-action reviews.

Ground Debriefing Station (GDS) 

The GDS provides specific and consistent training scenarios for all pilots and instructors in the AACMI exercise. This enhanced system feature allows real-time monitoring of the operations as well as to aid both the pilots and instructors in the understanding the aircraft deployment in the exercise. 

Our Engineering Packages

Prescient offers an integrated customer support for the AACMI system, which includes provision of spare parts, a through-life support contract as well as facilities for upgrade, thereby ensuring its availability and usability throughout its operational life. 

“O”-Level Test Maintenance

An entry-level maintenance, the “O”-Level test repairs can be carried out by the customers/ Squadrons holding the ACMI equipment.

 “I”-Level Test Maintenance

At I-level Test Maintenance, repairs are carried out in the field by trained specialists. At this level, special tools and test equipment are required. A reserve of spares will also be made available to the customers on request. 

“D”-Level Test Maintenance

An on-site facility at the customer’s, the D-level Test Maintenance repairs a myriad of faults from components through to sub assemblies of the AACMI system. With dedicated training, the specialist will be able to rectify technical faults such as power supply, S-band transceiver, main computers, umbilical cable and wire harness.
