---------------------------------------------------------------- RAPTOR ---------------------------------------------------------------- R-apid A-erial P-recise T-argeting O-ptical R-epeater ---------------------------------------------------------------- SIMULATOR MANUAL v1.0-1984 USAF CLASSIFIED ---------------------------------------------------------------- I. SIMULATION SCENARIO A convoy of enemy vehicles is smuggling blutonium, an energy-rich component of nuclear weapons. Set in a desert landscape, the mission is to destroy all enemy combatants using the RAPTOR's rapid-fire laser with advanced targeting system and two smart bombs, referred to as boomerang bombs. The simulation is set up in waves, with each successive wave getting progressively more difficult. The first part of each wave is the enemy convoy. Each convoy is followed by an encounter with its forward command vehicle, a larger and more formidable opponent. Starting with the second wave, the convoy harbors the blutonium trucks. The simulation starts with five allowable enemy escapees, indicated by the escape monitor (number on bottom left of the screen). If an enemy convoy vehicle escapes, the escape monitor is decremented once. If a forward command vehicle is allowed to retreat, the escape monitor is decremented twice. When the escape monitor reaches zero, the simulation is over. ---------------------------------------------------------------- II. CONTROLS > The joystick controls the RAPTOR's movements: right, left front, and back. > Press the fire button to activate the RAPTOR rapid-fire laser. If the laser is fired for too long, it will overheat The laser bar (bar graph on bottom left of the screen indicates the laser temperature. When the laser overheats, it will be out of commission for three seconds while it cools down. > To detonate a boomerang bomb (remaining bombs are indicated by the icon between the escape monitor and the simulation score), quickly double-press the fire button. Upon release of the second button press, the bomb will detonate (1). Boomerang bombs can be detonated when the laser is overheated. > The status bar (bar graph on bottom right of the screen) indicates how many enemies have been launched in the current wave. When confronting the forward command vehicle, the status bar displays the forward command vehicle's damage level. (1) With the left difficulty switch in the "B" position, the RAPTOR must be hovering (no joystick movement) to detonate a boomerang bomb. This setting is recommended for novice pilots to prevent premature bomb detonation. For advanced pilots, set the difficulty switch to the "A" position to allow detonation while the RAPTOR is moving. ---------------------------------------------------------------- III. ENEMY CONVOY The enemy convoy is comprised of several vehicles moving at various speeds. TANK SUPPLY TRUCK HUMVEE JAMMER (1) BLUTONIUM TRUCK (2) ROCKET LAUNCHER (3) (1) When a jammer is on the battlefield, the RAPTOR's advanced Targeting system is disabled. (2) Destroying a blutonium truck with the RAPTOR laser activates a power boost (see section V). (3) A rocket launcher varies its speed between fast and slow. ---------------------------------------------------------------- IV. FORWARD COMMAND VEHICLE A battle with the forward command vehicle occurs at the end of each wave. Multiple hits on the forward command vehicle are required to destroy it. Its damage level is indicated by the status bar. Boomerang bombs are ineffective against the forward command vehicle. Any unused bombs at the end of the enemy convoy will be awarded as bonus points (see section VII). The forward command vehicle is equipped with an anti-aircraft sky sweeper. If the RAPTOR comes into contact with the sky sweeper, the RAPTOR laser will immediately overheat. During a power boost (see section V), the sky sweeper has no effect on the RAPTOR. ---------------------------------------------------------------- V. POWER BOOST When a blutonium truck is destroyed by the RAPTOR laser, a temporary power boost is activated (1). During a power boost, the RAPTOR laser cannot overheat by over-firing or by the RAPTOR coming into contact with the forward command vehicle's sky sweeper. Additionally, the power-boosted laser is able to penetrate the enemy protective shields (see section VI). During a power boost, the RAPTOR targeting system and laser will turn blue and the laser bar will indicate the amount of power boost time remaining. (1) A power boost is not activated when a blutonium truck is destroyed by a boomerang bomb. ---------------------------------------------------------------- VI. ENEMY PROTECTIVE SHIELDS In later waves, enemy protective shields will be projected onto the battlefield. The RAPTOR laser cannot penetrate the protective shields unless there is an activated power boost. However, boomerang bombs always destroy enemies behind the protective shields. ---------------------------------------------------------------- VII. SCORING > Each enemy convoy vehicle destroyed is worth 1 point. > Each forward command vehicle destroyed is worth 25 points. > Each unused boomerang bomb at the end of a convoy or at the end of the simulation is worth 10 points. > For every 200 points scored, the escape monitor is incremented, earning another allowable escapee. ---------------------------------------------------------------- VIII. PREDATOR RANKING At the end of the simulation, a predator ranking based on the simulation score is displayed where the escape monitor is located. Participants who achieve a Raptor ranking are eligible to enroll in the USAF RAPTOR training program. MANTIS 0–99 POINTS CRAB 100–199 POINTS FOX 200–399 POINTS VIPER 400–699 POINTS LION 700–999 POINTS RAPTOR 1000+ POINTS ----------------------------------------------------------------
