To field MAST at homestation and maneuver CTCs according to the Army-wide distribution plan.
DESCRIPTION:
The MAST is a MANPADS live-training device used to train aircrews to react to SAM threats during live-training exercises. The MAST will interoperate with the AN/AAR-47 MWS and AN/AAR-57 CMWS. A WESS simulates the visual launch signature of a MANPADS to signify that the MAST has been fired. Additionally, the MAST has a capability to record SAM engagements during live-training exercises. The recorded engagements are used for debriefing aircrews and support the preparation of AARs. The system also has the capability to interoperate with aircraft MILES/LBA TESS aircraft instrumentation during force-on-force and force-on-target training at the MCTCs and at Aviation unit homestations.
