... aircraft [which] closely resemble fighters but are designed to operate at lower altitudes and to carry rockets or other forms of missiles for use against ground targets. They may also be used as dive bombers.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - ground%20attack%20aircraft

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

These planes are generally somewhat larger than the high-altitude fighters, with one or more engines mounted either in the fuselage or outboard on the wings. They are sometimes designed for extremely low-level attack, approaching their targets by following the profile of the ground at altitudes of 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 metres).  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - ground%20attack%20aircraft

The aircraft's flight control system primarily comprises a triply redundant command stability augmentation system(CSAS) using fly-by-wire and autostabilization, and an autopilot/flight director(APFD). Coupled with the nav/attack system, these allow the aircraft to fly with high stability and near-sonic speed at 200 ft(61 m) above ground level in all weathers. Over known flat surfaces, such as southern Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War, altitude can be further reduced by reliance on the radar altimeter alone.  3, fiche 5, Anglais, - command%20stability%20augmentation%20system

Le système de commandes de vol comprend un système électrique d'augmentation de stabilité à trois chaînes redondantes (CSAS) et un pilote automatique /directeur de vol (APFD) qui, avec le système de navigation et d'attaque, permettent à l'appareil d'effectuer des vols de haute stabilité à des vitesses quasi-soniques à 200 FT (61 m) au-dessus du sol par tout temps. Au-dessus des terrains plats (tels que celui du sud de l'Irak durant la guerre du Golfe de 1991), il est possible de réduire davantage l'altitude en se fiant uniquement à l'altimètre radar.  1, fiche 5, Français, - syst%C3%A8me%20%C3%A9lectrique%20d%27augmentation%20de%20stabilit%C3%A9

In terms of numbers this is the most important category of combat aircraft; yet, if the media area is to be believed, the general public have never heard of it, so attack aircraft have to be called either "fighters" or "bombers". Their origin lay in aircraft of 1916-18 called ground strafers or trench fighters which were armoured to survive in close proximity to a land battle whilst doing what they could to harass the enemy land forces.  2, fiche 8, Anglais, - attack%20aircraft

ACMRI has four basic sub-systems. First is a sidewinder-shaped external pod which attaches to the aircraft's missile mounting rack and contains instrumentation independent of the aircraft's own systems to measure altitude, airspeed, Mach number, angle of attack and sideslip, plus a compact inertial sensor which measures pitch, roll, heading and acceleration/deceleration. The instrumentation package... also contains a transponder-like radio link which transmits all this information down on command from the second sub-system, the ground tracking station network... the third sub-system-the Control and Computation facility... precise aircraft position determination, and data formatting prior to reaching the fourth... sub-system... the Display and Debriefing Sub-system.  3, fiche 9, Anglais, - air%20combat%20manoeuvering%20range%20instrumentation
