Capacity + Capability: Advancing F-35 Pilot Training
澳门开奖历史
For the first time, the F-35 training and logistics team successfully connected F-35 Full Mission Simulators (FMS) to Modified Mission Rehearsal Trainers (MMRT) for an 8-ship operation test, demonstrating improved tactical training capability for home station units through improved threat simulation and expanded training capacity. The test听mission stressed the capabilities of the pilot training system, including the two different devices, and provided high-end wartime simulation to train F-35 pilots.

Increased Capability = Increased Mission Readiness
The inclusion of MMRT, the United States Air Force鈥檚 newest small footprint training device, increases the number of pilots in training at a single base while reducing the physical space needed to do so 鈥 significantly. Coupled with the connection to the FMS, pilots can more easily train for 8-ship operations or more.
鈥This will give F-35 pilots the scenarios and repetitions necessary to steepen tactical learning curves and provide a much-needed capability for our F-35 units,鈥 said Matthew 鈥淎li鈥 Olson, retired USAF F-35A pilot and BGI contract pilot.
To prepare for a training event in the simulators, pilots plan their actions, brief the mission, execute their training, and debrief their exercise. This test mission demonstrated the readiness of the devices to allow pilots to execute on their tasks and build the skills necessary to conduct future missions.

Preparing for the Future Fight
As the complexity of adversaries becomes increasingly dangerous, our team is innovating with urgency and advancing the capabilities of the F-35 airframe, which are then reflected in the simulation environment.
The test showcased improvements of simulated threats to conduct Offensive Counter-Air Escort and Offensive Counter-Air Suppression of Enemy Air Defense missions. The enhanced threat simulation was developed by our team to support USAF tactics training requirements.
This demonstration of enhanced training capability and overall mission readiness for F-35 pilots showcases the 21st Century Security庐 vision, ensuring pilots are ahead of threats and are masters of their warfighting domain.

Momentum continues for the F-35 training system following the successful test, including capability upgrades, new devices, and growth across the program:
路听听听听听听 The first MMRT units will be delivered to the USAF in 2025 and can be used in training scenarios such as the ones the demonstrated in this mission.
路听听听听听听 Updates are being fielded across all training devices, bringing increased mission readiness to all nations training to fly the F-35.
路听听听听听听 The first Amorphic Appearance Zero-Projector Environment (AMAZE) visual display systems will be delivered to Poland in 2026, advancing the realism and fidelity of mission rehearsal training.
To date, we have graduated over 2,688 pilots and 17,261 maintainers from 12 nations through the F-35 training system and are supporting customer training success at more than 30 bases across the globe.听
