The Hawk AJTS National Road Show features a demonstration
trailer that includes video, simulations and interactive exhibits,
including a cockpit simulator, illustrating the unique features of
the Hawk AJTS and will be on display at air shows, trade shows and
conferences across the country. It will be unveiled for the first
time on September 19 at the Air Force Association’s 2011 Air
& Space Conference and Technology Exposition in National
Harbor, MD.
BAE Systems is offering the Hawk AJTS as a replacement for the
aging T-38 trainer as part of the U.S. Air Force’s T-X
program. “The Hawk AJTS far surpasses other training
offerings in technological sophistication and integrated
capabilities,” said Robert Wood, Vice President and lead for
the BAE Systems, Inc. Hawk Advanced Jet Training System Program.
“This Road Show offers a unique opportunity for our team to
highlight the exceptional capabilities of the Hawk AJTS’
in-flight and ground based training systems while showcasing how it
can deliver off-the-shelf capabilities today.”

The Hawk AJTS National Road Show exhibit includes:
- The Hawk Advanced Jet Training System Interactive Touchscreen
Display which allows visitors to experience how the Hawk AJTS
blends live and virtual training through a system-wide Enterprise
Learning Architecture to train the best 5th generation combat
pilots in the world.
- A Hawk AJTS Cockpit Simulator, which allows pilots to train
effectively in a synthetic, real-world environment with all the
sights, signals and sounds of actual flight. The Hawk AJTS’
ability to synthetically replicate 5th generation avionics will
allow the download of training such as air intercept and weapons
delivery to the appropriate pilot training experience level.
- A Desktop Trainer, which empowers student pilots to maximize
their own training time as they continuously expand the limits of
their abilities. By using desktop trainers and mobile devices,
student pilots can monitor their syllabus and review their
schedules in real time.
- A Debrief Station, demonstrating how Hawk AJTS instructors can
provide detailed feedback to student pilots after each sortie. The
Hawk AJTS’ debrief capabilities also allow student pilots to
adapt the training scenario in real time to ensure maximum training
value.
Following the kickoff in Maryland, the Hawk AJTS National Road
Show will stop in Wichita Falls, Texas; Alamogordo, New Mexico; Del
Rio, Texas; Fort Worth, Texas; San Antonio, Texas; Tampa, Florida;
Las Vegas, Nevada; Orlando, Florida.
