OPUS Training

The moment you start thinking of OPUS as an asset, you start doing very creative things with that asset. This is the only course available that teaches the basic fundamentals of mission planning analysis and air vehicle routing in the context of OPUS advanced features and capabilities. It is a technology specific course that is reinforced with practical hands-on experience. It takes you through a step-by-step process of how to generate a highly complex and survivable Low Observable (LO) or conventional air route using the latest version of OPUS.

The OPUS training course is a must for anyone involved in mission planning and air vehicle routing analysis technologies from researchers to full combat operations. This course is designed to provide the user with the right tools to get the job done as never before possible. Exhibiting near-optimal solution methodologies, OPUS provides trustworthy results that will save time and money!

What is OPUS Training About?

How can it benefit my organization and me? Why should I be interested in formal training on OPUS? How long is the course and can I learn from it? Does the course provide hands on experience using OPUS? How is the course going to help me after only 3 days of training?

 

These are just a few of the many questions you may be asking about the OPUS training program.

The ORCA workshop training series is provided to teach OPUS users how to run OPUS, and how OPUS features and functions can assist them in their mission planning and air vehicle routing tasks.The three days of OPUS training is probably unlike any other mission planning course you have ever attended.

It is an intensive training class that teaches you the fundamentals of Low Observables, and how to autoroute to avoid the threats using OPUS.  The fundamentals include discussions on such topics as LO Concepts, LO Survivability measures, LO template generation, the impact of altitude on the LO template, and the effect of threats (EW/GCIs, SAMs, and AIs), and the C³I system on the survivability of LO systems. 

You will observe numerous demonstrations and instructions on how to use OPUS capabilities including template generation and smart weapon routing.  The videos will provide step by step instruction.Beginning with the OPUS installation, you will be given, under the individual tutelage of an instructor, the opportunity to use OPUS on the latest PC configuration.  You will route sorties using all of the advanced features of OPUS.These features include, but not limited to, creation of threats, targets, air refueling tracks, weapon releases and launches, low and high altitude penetration, terrain masking, threat exposure and detection, SAM and AI encounters, sortie routes, attrition computations, simulation, route traversal and logistical statistics.After each major area of instruction, you will be expected to complete an exercise that reinforces the processes you have been taught.

Given your passion for learning, when you finish the course, you will be able to plan a highly complex and survivable LO, or conventional aircraft, or smart missile route using the latest version of OPUS.
