The Military Operations Division of FAAC today represents the original core of our company, founded in 1971 to provide high-speed accurate weapon simulations for the original training range USN/USAF Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) systems developed to better prepare pilots for combat operations.
Our weapon simulation technology established and remains the standard for real-time weapons assessment. This capability was eventually brought from the training world to the tactical world through the incorporation of the Zone Acquisition Program (ZAP) into the fighter’s Operational Flight Program. ZAP was a revolutionary leap in capability to the US warfighter, replacing low-fidelity coefficient driven algorithms, with accurate high-speed simulations.
