Guided Weapon Danger Area Safety Template Generation - A New Capability

摘要

The Australian Department of Defence will shortly introduce a new capability for the generation of guided Weapon Danger Areas and launch vehicle range safety templates into service. This Australian-developed capability, called the Range Safety Template Toolkit (RSTT), will initially support operations of the ASRAAM air-to-air missile, AGM-158 JASSM cruise missile and the joint US/Australia HIFiRE hypersonic flight research program being conducted from the Woomera range in South Australia. Support for future guided air weapons operated by Australia's armed forces will be introduced as these weapons enter service. Future uses for RSTT could potentially include broader mission analysis tasks, operational safety assessment for Unmanned Air Systems (UAS), and reducing the time and volume of airspace needed to be restricted for weapon tests and space launch operations thus facilitating more dynamic management of airspace to reduce air traffic congestion.
