Lockheed Martin Australia has completed its preliminary design review (PDR) for a new simulator that allows RAAF pilots to virtually train alongside the crews of tanks and warships more regularly. Currently, limited tech means these personal can only perform joint training around 10 times a year, but the new JP 9711 Phase 1 system will up that number to around 200 when fully operational in 2025.
The capability will enable the Department of Defence to link live and simulated training together for large scale joint and combined collective training and to deliver on-demand distributed mission training to the single services of the ADF and Joint Operations Command.
Lockheed said this is a significant milestone as it lays the foundational path forward for establishing the baseline software architecture for the Australian Defence Force’s largest networked training system that links virtual and constructive simulation to live training events....MORE
