The Smart Onboard Data Interface Module (SMODIM) is used by the United States Army and foreign militaries for live simulated weapons training on military platforms. The SMODIM is the primary component of the Longbow Apache Tactical Engagement Simulation System (LBA TESS) that provides weapons systems training and collective Force-on-Force live training participation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PEO STRI Desk-Side Reference Guide, LBA TESS (Page 88) )〕 TESS is an advanced weapons training system developed for the AH-64 Apache to support force-on-force and force-on-target live training at Combat Training Centers (CTCs), Aviation Homestations and deployed locations. TESS integrates with aircraft and ground vehicles to provide collective Opposing Force participation in live training. The Aerial Weapons Scoring System (AWSS) integration with LBA TESS provides the ability to conduct force-on-target engagements using live ammunition for 30mm Gun, rockets, and simulated Hellfire missiles. Gunnery scoring is supported by the SMODIM, which transmits aviation data from the LBA to the Exercise Control (EXCON). AWSS scores the pilot’s live-fire gunnery performance and provides constructive After Action Review (AAR) feedback.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PEO STRI Desk-Side Reference Guide, AWSS LBA TESS (Page 83) )〕 Designed and manufactured by Inter-Coastal Electronics, Inc (ICE), "The SMODIM is fully compatible with the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) and laser-based direct fire weapons. Additionally, it eliminates the requirement for MILES-type lasers by providing the capability to geometrically pair weapon engagements".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SMODIM - Smart Onboard Data Interface Module )〕 == Background == In 1992, Inter-Coastal Electronics (ICE)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inter-Coastal Electronics (ICE) )〕 was selected by U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) )〕 to provide the Real Time Casualty Assessment (RTCA) interface for the AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter. This component was called the Onboard Data Interface Module (ODIM). As the Army incorporated new technologies, the "Smart" Onboard Data Interface Module (SMODIM) added GPS and telemetry and became the core component of live helicopter training systems at all U.S. Army Combat Training Centers (CTCs) with a fielding of over 240 systems. In 1997, the SMODIM was modified to provide a proof of concept for the upgraded AH-64 (D model) Longbow Apache. In 1998 the "Modular" SMODIM and the Longbow Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS) training system was fielded to all three Combat Training Centers (CTCs) and Aviation Home Stations, and became the U.S. Army's first fully integrated live aviation training system.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Development of a Verification and Validation (V&V) Plan for a Proposed Tactical Engagement Simulation System for the AH-64D Attack Helicopter )〕 Over the following 15 years, the SMODIM has deployed in multiple systems and platforms with over one thousand SMODIMs fielded in the U.S. and abroad. An "Advanced" SMODIM or "ASMODIM" is currently in development due to parts obsolescence and will provide an 80% increased processing performance. Security encryption is in accordance with FIPS 140-2 level 2. Advanced weapon simulation is augmented by Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) and geometric ranging. Data communication and data transmission upgrades utilize RS-422 and RS-485 full duplex channels, and ARINC 429 technical standards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smart Onboard Data Interface Module」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
