...
With a continuous focus on innovation, Top Aces is introducing advanced new capabilities that will raise the bar for the adversary air industry. Beginning in 2017, Top Aces has made significant investments in R&D to develop a proprietary Advanced Aggressor Mission System (AAMS) that allows for the use of state-of-the-art Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar and Infrared Search-and-Track (IRST) systems on a variety of aircraft types including Top Aces’ A-4N Skyhawk and F-16 Fighting Falcon. The AAMS is a revolutionary new technology that allows its aircraft to simulate the most advanced capabilities of modern-day opponents in air-to-air combat. Flight testing and certification of the AAMS on Top Aces’ A-4N Skyhawk have been completed, enabling the Company to begin delivering AAMS missions to Germany and to demonstrate this capability to potential customers in North America and Europe.

Top Aces unleashes F-16 advanced aggressor fighter
20 January 2022
Top Aces has for the first time flown a F-16A equipped with its advanced aggressor mission system (AAMS), enabling the legacy type “to replicate the most advanced capabilities of contemporary air-to-air combat opponents”.
Enhancements to the aircraft include an AESA radar, IRST, electronic-attack pod and HMCS helmet-mounted cueing system. Other modifications made via the AAMS’s open system architecture include “high fidelity weapon simulation” and the addition of tactical datalink communications.
Cirium fleets data shows that the F-16 flight-test aircraft (129) was delivered to the Israeli air force in September 1980 and operated by the service until December 2016. It was acquired by Top Aces in January 2021 and now carries the registration N854TA.
The company plans to upgrade the majority of its F-16s with AAMS “within the next year”.
Top Aces has already cleared AAMS for use on its Douglas A-4N Skyhawks which deliver adversary training for the German armed forces and other European customers.

Este es el segundo de ATAC, pero hubo otro de Draken (ambos están unos mensajes más arriba).
¿Pasan los aviones por mantenimientos tan estrictos como los gubernamentales? ¿Quien controla el estado de esas plataformas? Porque estas dos cosas cuestan dinero.
