Software, Simulation, Systems Engineering, and Integration Directorate

 

 

The Air Systems Center supports the Portfolio Acquisition Executive Maneuver Air in its mission to equip the Army with a more lethal, adaptable, and sustainable aviation force, built on a foundation of open architecture and autonomy that outpaces our adversaries' innovation cycles. The readiness of the current force is maximized while the next generation of capability is fielded on schedule and on budget.

“Whether you’re the engineer, or you’re turning a wrench at the PIF, writing a novel piece of code at two o’clock in the morning or running a hardware-in-the-loop run for the thousandth time because the weapon system has to perform in the field the right way every single time, or you’re part of business operations doing the contracts and the budgeting, we at S3I take this mission very seriously.”

BLACK HAWK AIRCREW TRAINER (BAT)

High-fidelity. Cost-effective. Portable. 
The Black Hawk Aircrew Trainer – better known as the BAT – is the Army’s highly immersive home-station UH-60M flight training device. From adverse weather to enemy fire, the BAT allows aviators to train under conditions that could not be replicated with live aircraft exercises. As the Army transitions to creating more technologies and capabilities in-house as it builds the Army of 2030, the BAT and its team is a success story 10 years in the making.
