Mission Planning Systems for Tactical Aircraft (Pre-Flight and In-Flight)(Systemes de Planification des Missions pour Avions Tactiques (Avant Vol et en Vol))

摘要

The concept of planning a mission for a military aircraft is probably as old andwell established as that of the military aircraft itself, but until recently the methodology and technology associated with mission planning had received only limited attention from scientists and engineers. The last few years have, however, seen a marked increase in the attention given to mission planning both by the users, who are demanding improved facilities, and by the suppliers, who are able to provide increasingly more capable systems. As a result, the air forces of many of the NATO countries are procuring new and advanced mission planning systems that have capabilities far in advance of those previously available.
