Network Capability With First Sim Allows Air-To-Air Combat
Training
A second F-16C Block 52+ Aircrew Training Device (ATD) has been
delivered to the Hellenic Air Force (HAF), L-3 Link Simulation
& Training (L-3 Link) said Wednesday in a news release. The
simulator, operated from the HAF's Araxos Air Base, is
network-capable with the first F-16C Block 52+ ATD delivered to the
HAF's Souda Bay military installation in 2005.
"The Hellenic Air Force F-16 Aircrew Training Devices are among
the most advanced simulators in the world," said Leonard Genna,
president of L-3 Link. "When these simulators are networked, it
will represent the first time that any country other than the
United States has been able to conduct long-haul networked
exercises between F-16 high-fidelity training devices."
The ATD will enable HAF pilots to conduct simulated air-to-air
and air-to-ground combat exercises. During simulation exercises,
HAF F-16 pilots will be able to acquire and identify targets, and
accurately deliver a wide range of ordnance. The trainer will also
allow pilots to practice takeoffs and landings, aerial in-flight
refueling, low-level flight, and emergency procedures. These
training exercises, which will occur within a virtual, geo-specific
database, can be impacted by a variety of simulated weather
conditions.
HAF F-16 pilots will view out-the-window visual imagery on the
trainer's nine-panel visual display, which provides a
360-degree field-of-view. L-3's SimuView personal computer image
generation system will power and correlate both out-the-window and
cockpit sensor display imagery.
