The Advanced Avionics Multi-Radar Software Support Study (AAMRSSS) sponsored by the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center Special Operations Forces Engineering, has evolved an avionics support strategy to leverage support facility resources currently used to support the F-15 Eagle, to also support the AC-130U Gunship. In support of the recommendations of the AAMRSS Study, a second set of studies (AAMRSSS2) have been undertaken to develop specific technologies and tools to improve support of the air-to-ground capabilities of the radar avionics. Primarily focused on the system-in-the-loop test and validation capabilities of the F-15 APG-70 Software Development Facility, technology improvements have been identified for the analog and digital target generators, as well as the incorporation of a playback system for instrumented flight data. These technology improvements have been integrated into the plan for the shared support environment to optimize effective support for the unique capabilities of the AC-130U Gunship. As the second study nears completion in the evaluation of prototype technology improvements and the establishment of design specifications, this paper reviews the capabilities of the current Warner Robins F-15 APG-78 Software Development Facility, describes the support needs and strategies for a shared multi-platform facility, and summarizes the support environment improvements targeted.
