Smart onboard data interface module

The Aerial Weapons Scoring System (AWSS) integration with LBA TESS provided the ability to conduct force-on-target engagements using plastic ammunition for 30 mm gun, rockets, and simulated virtual emulated Hellfire missiles.

Designed and manufactured by Inter-Coastal Electronics, Incorporated - a division of Aerotech, LLC(ICE), "The SMODIM was fully compatible with the multiple integrated laser engagement system (MILES) and legacy laser-based direct fire weapons simulation.

The SMODIM includes a built-in GPS receiver, telemetry radio, data recorder, and MIL-STD-1553 mux bus processors.

The SMODIM interfaces with the weapons systems and actively tracks, records and transmits data to the ground station or exercise control (EXCON).

It selects a target from its onboard player/position database in the appropriate weapons impact footprint, then uses the probability-of-hit (Ph) factor to determine the assessment (i.e., 'hit'/'miss').

GPS provides real-time position data as players are dynamically simulated, tracked and recorded over tactical maps and aerial photos for after-action review (AAR).

[11] The "A" kit includes the SMODIM Tray Assembly, modified software in the weapons display and systems processors, with cable connection provisions.

[19] Upon proven success, the SMODIM has become a key component of the Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) AHIP modular After Action Review capability.

The objective solution is full integration of ground/air manned platforms and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) including Gray Eagle, Shadow, Raven, and Puma.
