TAMPS The Tactical Aircraft Mission Planning System (TAMPS) is a computer-based method for weapons planning and optimizing mission routes against hostile targets. TAMPS is employed extensively by embarked Navy and Marine Corps mission planners to achieve information superiority for the dominant maneuver force of naval tactical aviation. TAMPS provides a common automated system for rapidly processing large quantities of digitized terrain, threat and environmental data, aircraft, avionics, and weapon systems parameters that assist in the precision engagement of enemy forces. The system has an intended capability to meet the tactical mission planning and digital data upload requirements of fixed and rotary wing aircraft, standoff weapons, avionics systems mission support systems and unmanned air vehicles.
