With a continuous focus on innovation, Top Aces is\nintroducing advanced new capabilities that will raise the bar for the adversary\nair industry. Beginning in 2017, Top Aces has made significant investments in\nR&D to develop a proprietary Advanced Aggressor Mission System (AAMS) that\nallows for the use of state-of-the-art Active Electronically Scanned Array\n(AESA) radar and Infrared Search-and-Track (IRST) systems on a variety of\naircraft types including Top Aces\u2019 A-4N Skyhawk and F-16 Fighting Falcon. The\nAAMS is a revolutionary new technology that allows its aircraft to simulate the\nmost advanced capabilities of modern-day opponents in air-to-air combat. Flight\ntesting and certification of the AAMS on Top Aces\u2019 A-4N Skyhawk have been\ncompleted, enabling the Company to begin delivering AAMS missions to Germany\nand to demonstrate this capability to potential customers in North America and\nEurope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
