Missiles are the preferred mode of attack for air combat. However, air-to-air gun

attacks may be required in tactical situations if the target is inside the minimum

missile range, or if the target employs countermeasures that defeat missiles.

Due to their complex dynamics, PST maneuvers are difficult to characterize

without the use of 3D visualization tools. The primary visualization tool used in

this study was Agile-Vu, a 3D graphics animation package developed by the U.S.

Navy for analyzing aircraft flight trajectories. Agile-Vu provides the user
