To provide this solution, CTI will leverage existing low-observable auto-routing and visualization software developed by AeroMech Engineering (AME) as part of their overall SharkFin product suite. CTI will provide the Electronic Warfare (EW) expertise required to extend AME's application environment to include the required computations, visualizations, and algorithms. AME will use this information to augment SharkFin's existing capabilities to create a scalable, extensible EW planning tool for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) and other EW strike and support aircraft. CTI will also use their experience with modern advanced threat environments and systems to extend the existing JAR computational models to accommodate a variety of threat capabilities and instantiations. the product of which will be positioned for incorporation into current and emerging mission planning environments such as JMPS and JTAS. Benefits: Without the development of this tool, U.S. and Coalition strike aircraft are left vulnerable to threat weapon systems due to their increased exposure to detection and tracking. Through the use of this tool, planners will be able to better visualize the results derived from the described computations. Additionally, planner will be able to determine optimal solutions for protected entity and electronic warfare aircraft flight paths in a more timely manner, within a variety of computational platforms, and for more complex threat environments.
