ACO-TS is operated by the School of Air Warfare (SAW, East Sale) within the King-Air B350 training aircraft and provides simulation based training of Air Combat Officers in the management of own ship’s mission using moving map displays, the collation of track feeds from on and off-board sensors, the compilation and management of the tactical picture, and the operation of radar, Electro-Optic and other sensors. 

The Cirrus ACO-TS is based on  Cirrus’ Simulation Training Network and Sensor Simulation Engine (STN & SSE) technologies.
