The Advanced Fighter Technology Integration (AFTI) F-16 Joint Test Force recently completed a developmental flight test program investigating a fully automated weapons delivery system. The F-16 boasted an impressive array of automatic systems that increased the effectiveness of both the pilot and airframe as an overall weapon system. The highly modified F-16 testbed was fitted with a digital flight control system, a conformally mounted infrared sensor/laser ranging pod, integrated fire/flight control computers, a digital color moving map, and a voice recognition system. The AFTI/F-16 integrated these sensors, avionics, and flight control systems into an Automated Maneuvering and Attack System (AMAS), capable of full authority automatic air to surface weapons delivery with profiles down to 200 ft above ground level. Test results of the developmental flight test program are presented and an assessment is provided of the individual AMAS subsystems on the overall workload of the pilot and the pilot acceptance of a fully automated weapons delivery system.
