Apache Risk and Cost Reduction System

The Apache Risk and Cost Reduction System (RACRS) simulator is owned by the US Government and operated by Camber in Huntsville, AL convenient to the Apache PM office.

Pilot and Co-Pilot/Gunner flight hardware controls augmented with simulation components replicate the Apache cockpit. Configuration flexibility is accomplished through maximum usage of commercial and open-source products allowing support for purely simulation based exercises or the integration and testing of hardware and software in the loop.

The RACRS is prepared to support a wide variety of simulation activities. Camber has the skills needed to modify the system software and hardware configuration to support your project.

Products

The US Government and Industry Customers have used the RACRS to perform an array of simulation exercises:
