Light Assault/Attack Reconfigurable (LASAR) Combat Mission Simulator (CMS)

MISSION:

To provide the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) (SOAR(A)) with aircrew training and mission-rehearsal capabilities that are interoperable with other United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) systems. LASAR provides aircrews with a real-world capability to practice, validate and verify tactics, techniques and procedures to support training and mission rehearsal.

DESCRIPTION:

The A/MH-6 LASAR CMS is a high-fidelity, motion-based, reconfigurable cockpit replication of the MH-6 Mission Enhanced Little Bird (MELB). All systems and controls required for aircrew training and mission execution are functional, including the capability for all system operations (including weapons) and the ability to simulate all systems emergencies, malfunctions, and degraded system operations. The LASAR CMS provides the commander with a system to plan and rehearse a special operations mission that incorporates tactics, situational awareness (real-world combat environment), decision making, and crew coordination. Identical to the actual aircraft capability, the simulator accepts automated transfer of all applicable mission data from Special Operations Forces (SOF) mission planning systems.
