Air-to-surface weapons delivery is one realm of visual flight simulation which has been rather neglected until recent investigations were made by the USAF to determine the state-of-the-art in this area. As part of this investigation (Project 2235, Air-to-Ground Visual Evaluation), the Advanced Simulator for Undergraduate Pilot Training (ASUPT) system was expanded to include the additional capabilities required to perform air-to-surface weapons delivery. Evaluations of the various systems under consideration have shown the ASUPT computer image generation approach to air-to-surface visual simulation to be the most viable. This paper summarizes the engineering modifications made to the ASUPT system for Project 2235 and presents the operational capabilities of the new system configuration.
