The Multi-Mission Management System (MMMS) incorporates the advanced technology, system design, features and capabilities included in the SBAS-enabled Flight Management Systems (FMS) with special interfaces for Search and Rescue (SAR), surveillance, law enforcement, and other special missions operations.
Multi-Mission Management System
The Multi-Mission Management System (MMMS) incorporates the advanced technology, system design, features and capabilities included in the SBAS-enabled Flight Management Systems (FMS) with special interfaces and the ability to fly six distinct patterns. The MMMS features Drifting Target and Mark On Target functionality for Search and Rescue (SAR) operations, as well as Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatibility essential for SAR and other special missions. A Flight Plan Erase option allows the active flight plan and stored pilot data to be erased automatically upon removal of system power. The MMMS is unmatched for special mission operations such as search and rescue, reconnaissance, surveillance, maritime patrol, border patrol, geophysical survey and flight inspection.
Patterns
The MMMS generates and steers the aircraft through six pattern types: rising ladder, expanding square, racetrack, sector search, orbit and border patrol. From the Control Display Unit (CDU) the operator is able to select the pattern and define the specific parameters appropriate to the mission.
The type of pattern is graphically displayed along with active/interrupted status and leg sequencing. Track, bearing, time and distance are numerically displayed as referenced to appropriate pattern waypoints throughout mission operations.
