AFMSS

AFMSS

The air force mission support system (AFMSS) is the world’s premier aircrew mission planner, providing 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 for national and international communities.

An all-inclusive 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 mission planning system 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. AFMSS offers flexible support for all of the above missions for all aircraft, weapons, and electronic system modules by allowing easy installation of the appropriate module containing the appropriate parametric data.

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 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.
