Description:
SAF-FIRES FST is an immersive Call-for-Fire and Close Air Support training simulation like no other. It combines the flexibility and stunning visuals of VBS4 with a highly sophisticated close air support simulation system, highly realistic FO and JTAC workflow, as well as all of the functionality available in SAF-FIRES IDF.
The SAF-FIRES FST engine supports the semi-autonomous control of aircraft. No qualified pilot is required to operate a SAF-FIRES FST training scenario. Instead, a sophisticated artificial intelligence engine pilots aircraft. This frees the instructor from concentrating on flying an aircraft and allows them to focus on training.
All of the capabilities provided by SAF-FIRES IDF are built into SAF-FIRES FST. This includes Call-For-Fire based on both the NATO and Commonwealth doctrines, Fire Planning capabilities, creation and use of target worksheets, and use of Fire Support Coordination Measures.
SAF-FIRES FST includes structured workflows developed with SMEs to ensure that there is a smooth and natural progression through the phases of allocating aircraft on station, check in procedures, game plans, nine line/ five line briefs, talk-on, instructions during an attack, and bomb hit assessments.
SAF-FIRES FST will work with any VBS4 terrain. Authoring a scenario is a simple process of using the VSB4 Offline Mission Editor. It provides the capability to add CFF or CAS components to any VBS4 scenario.
SAF-FIRES FST has an updated and redesigned and updated user interface, optimised to better match instructors’ workflow, improved performance and customizability, as well as more flexible deployment options.
