The system must be able to perform all missions that can be conducted in close air support, terminal guidance operations (CASEVACs), artillery/mortar fires, and naval surface fires. Specific capabilities must include, but are not limited to: Adjust Fire/Fire For Effect/Suppression Missions from all surface fires agencies: Computer controlled Fixed Wing, Rotary Wing, Bomber, and AC-130 missions; pilot in the loop with all types of USMC and Joint Services aircraft; Lasing capability for range determination as well as target designation; fire Planning products (Target List worksheet, scheduling worksheets); realistic system capabilities (aircraft fly realistic attack profiles, indirect fire missions are ballistically correct, realistic weapons effects such as burst radius and fragmentation patterns, etc.); scenario authoring and run-time authoring using plug and play targets and behaviors; and map and terrain imagery databases to include all major training areas as well as real world areas of ?interest? so that a rehearsal capability exists in addition to generic training.
