What is Air Combat Manoeuvring Air combat manoeuvring (ACM) is the tactic of moving, turning, and situating one's fighter aircraft in order to attain a position from which an attack can be made on another aircraft. Commonly associated with dogfighting, air combat manoeuvres rely on offensive and defensive basic fighter manoeuvring (BFM) to gain an advantage over an aerial opponent.

Candidate supermaneuvers and measures of merit have been evaluated through analysis of man-in-the-loop, non-real time air combat simulation. Critical one vs one engagement segments were evaluated in the context of their impact to a real world, large-scale, high-threat air battle scenario. The scope of the study was constrained to exclusively 1 v 1 engagements in a subsonic flight envelope and with near-perfect pilot situational awareness. The non-real-time aspect of the simulation permitted an unhurried, unpressured, carefully calculated progress though each engagement sequence. Although this approach was unrealistic in many regards, it eliminated many of the variables of real-time air combat and provided insight into the "perfectly" executed maneuver.
