MS&T MAGAZINE • ISSUE 4/2010 05

Chris Lehman

Emerging immersionRegulaR ReadeRs of ms&t will know that one of the identifiable themes of the magazine has been to caution that technology is actually not the big issue, rather it is how and what you want trainees to learn. Having said that, we can’t train in the modern environment without technology, and that technology is now advancing at a seeming exponential rate, particularly in the last five years.

Perhaps the technology-intensive flight simulation and visual simulation world is the most obvious example of the benefits of these advances. and as the “Yearbook” issue of ms&t, this edition focuses on military flight simulation, including a comprehensive global simulator census.

the past half decade has seen enormous advances in vision system technologies - some of it driven by the civil gaming industry - offering the promise of near perfection in replicating the visual environment. We are actually on the cusp of what has been referred to as “full immersion”: a 20/20 visual acuity environment, with not only networked simulators in multiple locations (and even live assets) participating in the battlespace, but hundreds of tracked and datalinked targets observable simultaneously by pilots and ground troops in all sensor spectrums. In other words, “full immersion.”

the latest high end image generators (Igs) incorporate near eye-limiting technology, giving sub-meter “out of the window” and sensor imagery over enormous geographic areas. advanced hardware, open architectures, software programmability and new development tools means that the inevitable continuous upgrades can be accomplished mostly through software enhancements.

But it’s not just the advances in image generators, projectors, and displays (the latter now almost entirely lCos technologies from the consumer market) that is underpinning this brave new world; it’s the unrelenting demand for higher scene density and richer content as driven by current military operations. the need for better urban environment simulation is one driver - we now have scene density right down to disturbed soil that may indicate a buried Ied, or very spe-cific battle damage on vehicles. and injecting over 100,000 distinct entities - including aircraft, vehicles, and people - into a real time scene is now possible, a number inconceivable just a few short years ago.

as one would expect, databases are getting very large, and issues surrounding their man-agement, updating and commonality are becoming more acute. In the us, the different serv-ices have their own common databases and this aspect has prevented optimum inter-service efficiencies. Industry has been responding to this challenge and there are commercial solutions available that address the need for rapid database changes and content management. for those databases used in deployable training aids, rapid and reliable updating is obviously critical, right down to the soldier using a laptop interface in the field.

In the quest for full immersion in the flight simulation context, it is interesting to consider the motion parameters and the debate that never seems to end on the value of this training cue. arguably, the civil community may be starting to accept the fact that the many studies undertaken over the years indicate that motion is not as important as once thought, especially in routine recurrent training for qualified pilots. for the military community, motion may make great sense in primary training and perhaps type qualification, but for mission-specific training, many see the focus necessarily on the visual and weapons simulation.

the new Joint strike fighter (Jsf) training system discussed in this issue of ms&t includes a containerized, deployable mission Rehearsal trainer (mRt) which, like many advanced simula-tors, uses much of the same software as the actual aircraft, helping to ensure seamless training. and this issue’s feature on the uK’s air Battlespace training Centre (aBtC) is a rare look at state of the art pre-deployment (Pdt) and mission-specific training (mst), and what current simula-tion technologies are actually delivering.

one of the founding and oft-stated goals of training transformation is to achieve a state where no mission was undertaken without complete and seamless readiness training. It is interesting to see how advancing technology is acting as both enabler and accelerator of this important policy.

The first elements of the Joint Strike fighter (JSF) training system are in place at the

33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin Air Force Base near Pensacola, FL. As of June, the initial cadre of Air Force and Marine Corps F-35 Lightning II flight instructors is honing the initial JSF training syllabus; the first course for new F-35 instruc-tor pilots will begin this September and the first nine-month course for pilots not transitioning from other aircraft will begin in the spring of 2012 in the Wing’s new Academic Training Center.

Along with the first JSF training, Eglin is and will be the site of several other jet fighter training “firsts,” namely:• The first Joint Integrated Training Center for jet fighters;• The first Air Force and Marine JSF training squadrons, with the Navy’s up next; and• The first fielding of a jet fighter train-ing system before the arrival of the new aircraft.

The 33rdThe 33rd Fighter Wing was stood up at Eglin October 1, 2009 for the specific mis-sion of training JSF pilots and maintain-ers for the three US services flying the aircraft and the eight JSF partner coun-tries that will also fly the Lightning II. All aircraft customers will train together in the first of its kind Joint Integrated Train-ing Center (JITC).

In July, the Government of Canada announced plans to acquire 65 F-35s to replace its current fleet of CF-18 Hornets. The US is expected to purchase more than 2,400 Lightning IIs to replace F-16, A-10, early model F/A-18 and AV-8B Har-rier aircraft. Other original international

JSF partner and co-developer countries include Australia, the UK, Italy, Turkey, the Netherlands, Norway and Denmark.

The 33rd currently has a permanent staff of 200, which is expected to increase to 1500 by 2015. When the Center is in full operation in the 2014-2015 timeframe, it is anticipated that a throughput of approximately 2,000 pilots and maintain-ers will earn their respective F-35 mis-sion qualification certifications each year.

The central element of the JITC is the Academic Training Center that will feature the training facilities, dormitories, dining and exercise centers and other elements one would expect on a small college campus, spread out over an area more than six American football fields in size. Across the road from the Center will be the flight line, hangars and main-tenance areas for the fifth-generation fighter aircraft. Now nearing its final con-struction phase, the Academic Training Center is scheduled for a “soft” opening of its doors by the end of January 2011.

The Air Force’s 58th Fighter Squad-

ron was also stood at Eglin up in October 2009. The 58th will fly the F-35A Conven-tional take Off & Landing (CTOL) variant. The Marine Corps Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT-501), which will fly the F35B Short Take Off/Vertical Landing (STOVL) variant, began opera-tions at Eglin in April 2010. The Navy JSF training squadron, to fly the F-35C Carrier Variant (CV), is now scheduled to be stood up by October 2011. The 33rd Fighter Wing will also have three JSF maintenance squadrons. Current plans call for a total of 59 JSF aircraft to be deployed to the 33rd.

Training TechnologyThe establishment of the JITC at Eglin has been a goal of the JSF Training Integrated Product Team ever since its inception in 2001. The IPT is led by train-ing systems integrator Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training and Support.

The first element of the JSF training system to become operational at the 33rd is the containerized deployable Mission

Rehearsal Trainer (MRT), which, like all of the JSF training devices, employs the same operational software as the aircraft. The MRT has a full-up cockpit, but with a smaller display than the 360-degree display of the Full Mission Simulator (FMS). Also in place are the Desktop Pilot Training Aids, which feature a stick and throttle and can be employed to display the JSF all-glass cockpit touch screen control panel in the classroom. The latter training device is a systems familiariza-tion and procedures trainer based on a laptop computer that will be issued to all student pilots. All JSF unclassified train-ing courseware and systems information will be provided on the laptop.

According to Lockheed Martin JSF Training Integrated Product Team (IPT) lead JoAnne Puglisi, the first of the JSF high-fidelity FMSs will be delivered to the 33rd in the November-December 2010 timeframe. The plan is to have four FMSs at the Academic Training Center for four-ship distributed mission training.

Once fully operational, the Aca-demic Training Center will feature elec-tronic classrooms employing interac-tive courseware for student pilots and maintainers, as well as the pilot and maintainer training devices. A Train-ing Management System will be used to establish student training schedules, while a learning management system (LMS) will track and assess their per-formance in individual training jackets. The Training System Support Center (TSSC) will be used to manage and dis-tribute training device baselines, update courseware and diagnose both student

aircraft. According to Puglisi, the pro-gram is well on track to meet that goal. Currently the first Air Force F-35A is scheduled to arrive at the 33rd no earlier than November of this year.

“Having the training system in place before the aircraft has given the instruc-tor pilots the opportunity to go through the training curriculum and learning sys-tem,” Puglisi said. “They will also have lots of opportunities to fly the simulator and really understand the aircraft and its capabilities well in advance of the air-craft. This can only be a good thing, and it is also helping us develop the training system together.”

According to 33rd Fighter Wing Commander Air Force Colonel David Hlatky, having the JSF training system in place before the aircraft is not just a nicety. In his mind, it is a requirement, even if revolutionary. Hlatky points out the F-35 is a system of systems sup-ported by its Autonomic Logistic Infor-mation System (ALIS), which supports the Training Management System, and associated with that is all the course-ware, all the technical data, all the syl-labi and flying gear. Because both the JSF aircraft and training system are new and different, with much to be under-stood, learned, and applied as well as tested, the 33rd needed to get all of this material and data before the airplane. Otherwise, he feels that pilots would be unable to fly the aircraft.

“This program is 30 years of wish lists, and part of that wish list includes some appropriate concurrency of the training system with the airplane,” Hlatky said.

“The acquisition of the F-35 is extremely elegant, and it has gotten us all the train-ing pieces to match the airplane. And for the first time in history, when we upgrade an airplane, the upgrade to the training software comes with each upgrade of the aircraft. Not only is this a fantasy, this is the first time that we have ever done this. We have never fielded an airplane with the training system at the same time, and this one is revolutionary.”

Training TemplateSince the 33rd is the first military com-mand to establish a JSF training center, the training model being developed at Eglin is expected to be employed at other F-35 bases once those are designated. However, Eglin will remain the primary Lightning II training center, and may maintain the only JITC for the program. The multi-service and multi-role aircraft will be the primary jet fighter for the US and other countries for at least the next 20 to 30 years.

“There is a lot of joint and integrated training going on, and we have been looking at that for the past 9 to 10 months to gather the best practices to employ for the Joint Integrated Training Center,” said the 33rd’s Vice Commander Marine Colonel Arthur Tomassetti. “However, there is no model and no place quite like what we are doing here all at one zip code. I don’t think that there will be any-thing like it. We are forming a template, and others can duplicate parts of it since there will be other places that will train F-35s. We hope that people will be able to pull our template off the shelf when they are looking to do this.”

nEstablishing such a training model

for what will be the nation’s primary jet fighter is one of the reasons why the US services have deployed some of their best jet fighter “Top Gun” flight instruc-tors and test pilots to the 33rd to form the initial flight training cadre, said Navy Captain Mike Saunders, 33rd Operations Group Deputy Commander and that serv-ice’s JSF training squadron commander at the 33rd. All instructor pilots from the different communities were board-cer-tified and approved at the highest level based on their high level of experience, backgrounds and tactics development skills, he pointed out.

Curriculum Development The flight instructors and test pilots are working with the Training IPT course-ware developers, aircraft developer and training system integrator Lockheed Martin and the rest of 33rd Wing’s staff to analyze and finalize the curriculum for the initial version of the F-35. As the aircraft and its progressive blocks of software that expand its capabilities are delivered, the training system devel-opers will employ the aircraft software to expand the system to match those new aircraft mission capabilities and upgrades.

“We’re going to learn our own way through the syllabus, evaluate it and make changes on what we have learned,” Hlatky explained. “That’s why we picked the best of the best of the aviators. We got those people to miti-gate the risk.”

While the ratio of simulator time to flight time has yet to be nailed down to

the exact numbers, according to Tomas-setti the overall general plan for the ini-tial training curriculum calls for an even 50-50 split between simulator and flight events. The final numbers will be also based on flight test experiences with the aircraft now underway, test pilot and instructor input and other factors.

“If anything, we are leaning more towards the simulation events, which is no different from where the rest of the aviation community is going,” Tomas-setti said. “As our simulation capability gets better and is more accurately able to emulate and simulate the aircraft, we can push into the training device a lot of things that normally we would have to do in the aircraft because there really wasn’t any other place to do them. We will be adding tweaks to the syllabus as we learn not only more about the capabili-ties of the airplane but also of the training devices as well.”

Because the three JSF variants have different performance capabilities, there will be variations in the training curricu-lum for each one. However, Tomasetti does not feel that these capabilities will be the elements that drive the differences in training for the different variants of the aircraft. Instead, it will come down to the mission sets and the particular focus that different operators will want to employ for them, he said.

“The technology is fabulous,” Hlatky summed up. “It brings us to a revolution-ary new capability that’s going to define the free world’s fighter for the next 35 to 50 years. There are some leaps in tech-nology in both the aircraft and in the ways we are going to teach.” ms&t

Ian Reason, Business Development Director for BAE Sys-tems Military Air Sector Training, explains that BAE will use the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) training system template in the JSF training centers in the UK and Australia. BAE Systems is a key member of the JSF Training Systems Integrated Prod-uct Team (IPT), now establishing the first F-35 Lighting II Joint Integrated Training Center.

“The key to the JSF program is not just in training but in all elements of the whole support solution,” Reason said. “It’s a single design that can then grow and replicate according to all JSF customers’ needs. So what happens at Eglin, and how that solution matures and proves the overall training system, will have value and lessons learned that we will build on as they stand up the UK JSF Integrated Training Center. There is

a template that is being generated at Eglin, and the overall aim there is to have a training solution that can then be replicated as required. “

Reason noted that BAE intends to flow the JSF template into its Hawk advanced jet trainer aircraft program, which will be used for initial pilot training before crews transition to the JSF.

BAE leads the JSF training Instructional Systems Develop-ment Engineering effort at Eglin and is also supporting train-ing in its System Design Responsibility (SDR) areas of fuel sys-tems and crew escape. In the UK, the company is developing SCORM 2004 compliant Pilot and Maintenance instructor led Electronic Mediated Learning (EML) and self-paced Interactive Courseware (ICW) for the program.

During the Cold War, Armed Forces personnel could expect a progressive tran-

sition to hostilities, and trained for the implementation of a range of con-tingency plans in the locations in which they expected to operate. Even in the Falklands, the preparation and deploy-ment phases allowed time for planning and practice, and the same held true for both Gulf Wars. However, the nature of modern expeditionary warfare, and the rotation of forces in long-running opera-tions such as Afghanistan, requires newly-arrived personnel to ‘hit the ground running’ in an extremely com-plex and dangerous environment. A Tornado GR4 crew could be required to deliver a precision-guided munition on to a target in the immediate vicinity of friendly forces during their first sortie in theatre; the same could apply to the For-ward Air Controller directing the attack. The need to ‘hit the ground running’

makes Mission-Specific Training (MST) vitally important. The scarcity of live training assets in UK, and the difficulties of reproducing the operational environ-ment, not least emission security and the ability to employ the latest weap-ons, means that synthetic training has become a vital part of pre deployment training (PDT). For selected key person-nel, this training is provided at the Air Battlespace Training Centre (ABTC).

When MS&T last visited the ABTC, located in a hangar at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, the facility was in the middle of a 30-month Capability Con-cept Demonstrator (CCD) phase that was intended to support the UK’s Mission Training through Distributed Simulation (UK MTDS) programme, and to ‘de-risk the delivery of the programme by defin-ing the UK MTDS user requirements’. It would ‘enable pilots to train in composite air operations and fly with coalition and other Services in a realistic virtual com-

bat environment’, and involved linking with the Distributed Mission Operations Network (DMON) in the US, with the 3 AH-64 Apache bases in UK – Dishforth, Middle Wallop and Wattisham - and with maritime forces at HMS Dryad.

However, before CCD reached a suc-cessful conclusion in 2008, a pressing need arose for a different kind of training, which ABTC could provide – Distributed Synthetic Air Land Training, or DSALT, the aim of which is ‘to provide opera-tional training to targeted front-line warf-ighters’. Among the warfighters targeted are the personnel responsible for the safe and effective employment of disparate indirect fire weapons systems in the

All the Training Aims – With Bells and WhistlesFor the past 3 years, the Air Battlespace Training Centre (ABTC) at RAF Waddington has been providing UK Armed Forces personnel with synthetic training tailored to enhance their chances of success and survival on the modern battlefield. Dim Jones observed two recent, and quite different, exercises.

air-land battle, or ‘Joint Fires’; the deliv-ery systems available include artillery, mortars, attack helicopters, and fixed-wing manned and unmanned aircraft. The vehicle for this training is Exercise Mountain Dragon, whose objective is ‘to train Combined Force Joint Fires staff in the planning, integration and decon-fliction of Joint Fires before and during Combined Force mission execution’. Another group of warfighters is the Air Component staff that directs the air war. Exercise Swift Panther, which is not the-atre-specific, uses the DSALT facility to ‘exercise and train personnel in current, and for future, command positions in air warfare command and decision-making’.

equipmentSo how is ABTC configured to provide this training? The exercises are spon-sored by HQ staff – in the case of Moun-tain Dragon by the Royal Artillery Gun-nery Training Team, and for Swift Panther by No 1 Group, HQ Air Command. The ABTC acts as the training facilitator. The hardware consists of 10 simulators: 4 full-dome and 4 flat-screen, comprising 4 Typhoon and 4 Tornado GR4, a single AH-64 Apache, and an E-3D AWACS. Other assets, such as Harrier GR9, A-10, F-16, C-130, Attack and Support helicop-ters, and MQ-9 Reaper, can be simulated by ABTC operations staff, augmented as required by front-line aircrew, using 4 generic virtual role-playing desktop simulators, 8 Computer-Generated Force (CGF) workstations, and one TUAV work-station which is a cross between the two. ABTC works on the principle of ‘targeted fidelity’, the aim being to ensure that the environment and information presented to the beneficiaries of the exercise – the ‘training audience’ – are as realistic as possible.

Also in the hangar are 3 tents: for Mountain Dragon, these house the Joint Fires Cell and Fire Support Teams and, for Swift Panther, the Combined Air Operations Centre (CAOC). The ABTC can replicate all the information and communications systems which would be present in-theatre, and can also cre-ate CGFs to act as additional friendly forces, adversaries or neutrals, using rel-evant tactics and capabilities to meet the exercise training aims. It is important to note that, although augmentee exercise staffs, such as HQ personnel role-playing higher command, or front-line aircrew

‘flying’ friendly air assets, may benefit hugely from exposure to this training, a clear distinction is made between these and the training audience, and the temp-tation to try and achieve too much at the risk of diluting the quality of the training, is resisted.

The ABTC equipment, procured by Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S)’s Flight Simulation and Synthetic Trainers Project Team, is provided, main-tained and supported, under contract, by QinetiQ and their subcontractors Boeing and Plexsys. The operations staff is a mix of RAF and Army personnel, and civilian instructors provided by military aviation consultants Inzpire. All the operations staff members are highly qualified Sub-ject Matter Experts (SME): military mem-bers are on normal rotational postings and provide recent experience of opera-tions and the Inzpire staff, all of whom are ex-military and many of whom are quali-fied weapons instructors, provide the continuity. The relationship between the two is seamless and only the colour of the flying suits enables the casual observer to tell the difference. As the Officer Com-manding ABTC, Wing Commander Mike ‘Elvis’ Costello, emphasises, this was always the intention, and it is fundamen-tal to the success of ABTC.

Scenario DevelopmentIn Exercise Mountain Dragon, ABTC creates a synthetic Afghanistan sce-nario, using a highly detailed and capable database. Joint Fires Cell and Fire Support Teams have already com-pleted preliminary training packages at the ABTC earlier in the MST cycle, and now come together for a 3-day exercise, which comprises 3 one-day missions, in which the participants plan in the morning, and then execute their plan in the afternoon. The exercise sponsors and the ABTC staff will have designed, refined and tested the scenario well before the exercise commenced. At ‘startex’, however, the celebrated adage that ‘no plan survives first contact with the enemy’ applies, and the staff will insert mini-scenarios or ‘vignettes’ to create situations to which the trainees will have to react. Equally, ‘no scenario survives first contact with the trainee’, and the reaction to an ‘inject’ may not be as expected. Either the exercise management staff will provide advice or direction to correct the situation or, just

as likely, will play along to see how the situation develops. This requires a great deal of flexibility and knowledge of their own systems, which is just what they are best at. As important as practising correct procedures and executing a good plan effectively is to experience things going wrong, without the pain of missed targets or, worse, ‘blue-on-blue’ or civilian casualties, or unintended collateral dam-age. I observed one incident where a Tor-nado was ordered to engage an ‘enemy’ compound. Thanks to modern technol-ogy, the Joint Fires Cell and the FST were able to see both the FST’s view of the target and that of the Litening target designator pod on the Tornado. All eyes were on the target, waiting for the weap-ons strike, when a similar compound, one kilometre to the north, disappeared in a cloud of smoke. This turned out to be the consequence of a simple error in the passing and acknowledgement of target coordinates due to following incorrect procedures. A well-reported friendly fire incident involving British ground forces and a US fighter in Afghanistan in 2007 occurred in similar circumstances; since then, the opportunity to experience, and learn from, similar mistakes in the ABTC environment has reduced the chances of recurrence in real life.

In the Exercise Swift Panther, Group Captain ‘Rocky’ Rochelle and his team from RAF Marham were the Deployed Force Air Component Commander and his staff, ‘parachuted in’ to man a CAOC, and to execute a plan devised partly prior to deployment and partly in-the-atre. In this case, the ‘battlespace’ was the south-western US, and the task at hand to protect part of a UK depend-ency from threatened annexation by a neighbouring country. Higher Com-mand was represented by Air Command staff, and there was liaison with both Land Component and Special Forces. Tactical execution of the Commander’s plan was the responsibility of the Mis-sion Director in the AWACS (a member of the ABTC staff). In addition to Opera-tions and Intelligence staff, the CAOC team included both Political and Legal Advisors, reflecting the critical impor-tance of adhering to complex Rules of Engagement, an issue which affects all decision-making from the highest to the lowest level. In this scenario, the vignettes included the threatened use of Weapons of Mass Effect (WME),

with simultaneous unconnected injects designed to take the eyes of DFACC and his team off the WME ball. Needless to say, the Deployed Force Commander, in another location, provided only lim-ited guidance, and eventually delegated authority to the DFACC – the ‘for future command positions’ element of the exercise aims. The CAOC staff also included a Media and Communications Officer (MCO) and, immediately follow-ing the exercise, Gp Capt Rochelle was subjected to media interviews of varying degrees of hostility – another reflection of the realities of modern operations.

RealismIt may be hard to credit that a tent in a hangar – through the windows of which the outside world can clearly be seen – could come close to replicating the real thing, the ‘fog of war’. Trust me when I tell you that it does so to an alarming degree, and that it is quite possible to immerse oneself in the scenario to the exclusion of almost all else. The plethora of com-munications and information inputs is such that, although they provide the players with an amazing amount of data from which to develop situational aware-ness and on which to base decisions, it is all too easy to suffer from ‘information overload’. Furthermore, the need to feed the product of multiple external commu-nications channels to those who need to know, while maintaining internal com-mand and information dialogue within the team can, if not properly handled, result in swift degeneration into chaos, and lead to serious ‘dropped balls’. Lastly,

and particularly relevant to the DFACC operational level of command, the capa-bility of directing operations at the tacti-cal level could result in temptation to do so – the ‘long screwdriver’. Final proof of the realism lies in the comments of those who have transitioned from exer-cise hangar to battlefield. One battery commander remarked that he had expe-rienced in Afghanistan “a 3-day fight (which was) exactly the same as being at Mountain Dragon”, and another that “the early stages of the operation [Panther’s Claw] had prolonged Mountain Dragon moments”.

No exercise is complete without the debrief. In contrast to real ops, in which detailed debriefing is frequently rendered impossible by ongoing action, where the participants rarely meet face-to-face, and the value of which is limited by lack of access to hard evidence, the ABTC debrief is fundamental to the over-all training value. All parts of the briefs and debriefs are led by the Exercise Director. In both the exercises which I observed, this was Richard ‘Tats’ Tatter-sall, an ex-RN Lt Cdr, Sea King pilot, Sea Harrier Weapons Instructor, F/A 18 pilot and JSF SME, now part of the Inzpire team. The first stage of the debrief proc-ess is the ‘White Force’ (ABTC Ops staff and augmenting personnel) ‘hot wash-up’, in which the ABTC team bring out

the major learning points, both for the training audience and for themselves. This preparation allows a blow-by-blow reconstruction of who did or said what to whom, and when – which is then distilled into salient points for the main debrief. The main debrief takes place, assisted by full video depiction of both air and land pictures, and associated communications, to ‘return’ the trainees to the execution phase. It is conducted in an entirely non-adversarial atmos-phere. The staff are generous with their praise where things went well, and con-structive in their criticism where they did not; indeed, when errors become apparent, the training audience are quite capable of ‘beating themselves up’ over it without outside assistance. Lastly, the White Force meet to discuss all the points raised, address technical problems and consider how the provi-sion of the exercise could be improved.

looking AheadSo what of the future for ABTC? The DSALT contract is due to end in 2013, at which point it is envisaged that the requirement for Air Land Training will be delivered by UK MTDS. Elvis Costello

sees this happening in a new facility, rather than the current one; DE&S con-cur, and add that they are currently ana-lysing acquisition options. The ABTC staff is constantly working to identify UK training capability gaps and find ways to plug them, thereby enhancing the operational capability of the front line. Even during DSALT, 12 of the 44 weeks available for training each year have been devoted to air-centric train-ing, which includes: aircraft-type spe-cific Team Training; Collective Training, such as the Combined Qualified Weap-ons Instructor Course (CQWIC) and Tac-tical Leadership Training (TLT); Joint Training, such as Close Air Support; and Coalition Training, such as Exer-cise Virtual Flag (CVF). One CVF exer-cise in 2009 involved links with 17 ele-ments in the US (including Hawaii and Alaska), and with Canada, Australia and Germany; 13 types of aircraft were rep-resented, plus UAV and SAM. A further 6 weeks are spent on research projects, and there is an ongoing programme of improvements to equipment – the Tor-nado GR4 simulators are currently being upgraded to reflect the latest capability in Afghanistan.

ABTC have also carried out, or are planning, ‘firsts’ in their field, nota-bly the first Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Qualified Weap-ons Instructor (ISR QWI) course, and the first exercise involving CG, virtual and live players. Network links are continually being expanded, and the inevitable compatibility and security issues are being addressed. Paradoxi-cally, while ABTC can communicate with live Typhoon aircraft and stimu-late their sensors, the configuration of the Typhoon FMS, set in concrete many years ago, is not compatible. Finding a fix for this will take time and money, not least because of the 4-nation dimen-sion, but it needs to be done.

Nothing comes for free (lunches or synthetic training) and, with the Defence Review in full swing, there will be intense pressure on funding; how-ever, on this evidence, the training pro-vided by ABTC is not only essential, but represents outstanding value for money and could not be provided elsewhere. To quote Rocky Rochelle in the immediate aftermath of Exercise Swift Panther “It met the all the training aims, with bells and whistles”. ms&t

In both the United States and Europe, militaries are facing the realities of changing mili-

tary and economic environments. Operational deployments are scheduled for drawdown, and national budgets are continuing to react to financial crises. While there is some encouraging news for the industry in North America, the forecast is not so fair in Europe

US MilitaryAs the drawdown of forces from Iraq continues, the military is taking a hard look at ways to reduce operating costs and the military acquisition process is being subjected to increasing scru-tiny. Training equipment and services vendors attending the 2010 Training & Simulation Industry Symposium (TSIS) in Orlando June 9-10, however, did receive some encouragement from US military training organizations about future busi-ness prospects in spite of the anticipated Department of Defense (DoD) budget

cuts. As well, agencies discussed their immediate procurement plans; selected opportunities presented at TSIS are shown in the accompanying table.

The Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation Training and Instrumenta-tion (PEO STRI) projected an upward trend in funded annual contract dollars over the next few years from over $3.5 billion in fiscal year 2011 to just shy of $6 billion in FY 2017.

New Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Commander Captain Bill “Roto” Reuter pointed out that the Chief of Naval Oper-ations Vision 2010 considers simulation as the key to energy strategy, cost reduc-tion and environmental focus.

Stephen Cricchi, Director of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Integrated Systems Evaluation, Experi-mentation and Test Department (ISEET) noted that in the face of increasing oper-ational costs, the Navy will be decreasing actual flight training time and maximiz-

ing the use of simulation training. “What this means”, he pointed out, “is that simulation requirements are changing for training and readiness requirements, which puts your industry in an exciting position from a training systems and acquisition perspective.”

Several presenters, including keynote speaker Major General Mark Graham, Deputy Chief of Staff for the Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) drew attention to the force drawdown that will double the number of units that will be back in the US by 2012. That will increase the need for expanded Home Station training and improved training capabilities at Combat Training Centers (CTCs), they explained.

Graham cited the use of LVC gaming in the Integrated training Environment as one solution to the need for more Home Station training.

Gregg Knapp, Executive Director for the US Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM)’s Joint Warfighting Center and Joint Training Directorate told the TSIS audience to expect a shift from more of the “big systems-type trainers’’ to more of the “mental stimulation’’ type that will allow military leaders to become more adaptable. This shift will call for changes in the acquisition proc-ess, he noted.

NAWCTSD According to Captain Reuter, NAWCTSD had 325 projects in hand in FY 2010, with a total of $863 million in FY 2010 contrac-tual funding.

Robert Seltzer, Deputy Director of the NAWCTSD Research and Technology Program Office, outlined the five key focus areas of NAWCTSD R&D contractual work: human performance mod-eling and assessment; distributed LVC synthetic training; virtual environments and training technologies; tactical decision sup-port for command and control and (new) human social, cultural and behavioral modeling.

John Freeman, Director of NAWCTSD Surface and Expedi-tionary Warfare Programs, told the audience that NAWCTSD has just been named as the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Training System Executive Agent by the Navy. The LCS work will involve the development of curricula, courseware, interactive multime-dia instruction, trainers and simulators and an immersive vir-tual operations and maintenance training capability. NAWCTSD announced $10.3 million in LCS training support contracts at the TSIS. The Orlando Navy training command has also been tasked to develop a Full Mission Bridge (FMB) trainer for the next gen-eration DDG 1000 Zumwalt class advanced destroyer.

PEO STRIIn a recorded message, PEO STRI Program Executive Officer James Blake told TSIS attendees to expect “some decrease”’ in agency supplemental funds for the acquisition of training prod-ucts, but that it is “not all gloom and doom, however.” He said that PEO STRI expects to see some non-traditional sources of funds coming from the organization’s customers, particularly from the system program managers. Simulation and training remain a priority for the Army, he emphasized, and that his agency is the service’s lead for such products. The expectation of non-tradi-tional funding would seem to be the key element in PEO STRI’s projected continual growth during the next few years.

PEO STRI Strategic Integrator Scott Pulford provided an over-view of the organization’s forecast for 2015 and its updated Vision and Strategic Objectives. He reported that the agency foresees the expanded use of gaming technologies, a greater demand for joint, intergovernmental and multinational training to support full spectrum operations and more training content with less empha-sis on major platforms. These solutions will perform in the new Integrated Training Environment (ITE), he added. Part of the 2015 goals are to become the preferred material developer and sus-tainer for all Army TADSS (training aids, devices, simulators and simulations) and to be recognized as the material developer of and the Center of Excellence for Joint Medical Simulation.

curriculum in the institutional Army,” Pulford said. “The LVC Integrated Archi-tecture is about to be awarded - a pro-gram of record that is our first effort to integrate across these three training domains. Becoming a Joint Center of Excellence for Medical Simulation, with ties to the University of Central Florida’s Medical School, is a great opportunity to expand our Medical Simulation Training Centers to include training for doctors and nurses at the hospital level. Overall, there is a tremendous amount of growth that we see on the horizon in terms of doing training enablers and systems sup-port for our sister PMs and PEOs.”

The PEO STRI Medical Simula-tion Training Centers (MSTCs) contract announced at the 2010 TSIS is a major one, with total funding of $215 million. The contract calls for 17 more MSTCs in addition to the 17 already established and the potential for foreign military sales of the systems. The draft RFP is sched-uled to be released in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, with a contract award in August 2011.

Rob Miller, Associate Chief Sys-tems engineer for Constructive Simula-tions provided the TSIS audience with a list of what PEO STRI considers to be some of its technology challenges and asked for industry support in helping in to resolve them. Included on his list were improved visualization strategies; human intelligence collection operations modeling; automated feature extraction from satellite and lidar imagery, intel-ligent role player and operator assistant technologies; avatar support for human intelligence interrogation; processing unstructured human language in a tacti-cal environment; immersive technologies and adaptive behavior targets.

Air Force According to Pasquale Gambatese, Deputy Director of the Air Force Train-ing Systems Product Group, the Air Force’s Distributed Mission Operation (DMO) network training capability is now required to be incorporated into all aircraft training system upgrades and recompete contracts. This includes the C-17, C-5 and KC-135 training systems. Such further development and expansion of the DMO system is a critical oppor-tunity for the Warfighter, he said. While several of the major Air Force contracts are for continuations of training pro-

grams for older aircraft platforms, the impact of the new Global Hawk Weapon System Trainer contract “will be huge,” Gambatese said. This training system will also have to be DMO capable as well.

But the biggest Air Force news is the announcement of a new ten-year Train-ing System Acquisition & Support (TSAS) with a ceiling of $15 billion to replace the current one. The TSAS will be the contract vehicle of choice for the Train-ing System Product Group. An RFI was released in January of this year, with the acquisition strategy due in April 2011. An RFP is scheduled to be released in Sep-tember 2011, with a contract award in August 2012. The primary contact for the new TSAS contract is Kristi Forino ([email protected]).

EuropeThe outlook for Europe’s defence indus-tries does not appear overly promising these days. Although the defence sec-tor emerged from the global economic crisis last year relatively unscathed, the unprecedented cuts European govern-ments are all planning in order to evade the consequences of the 2010 Euro crisis will severely affect the sector. Defence, which isn’t exactly popular in Europe, is seen to provide considerable savings potential. Across the board, national MoDs are calling for a shifting, stretching, reduction or cancelling of programmes. These cuts will not be limited to the major programmes such as Eurofighter or naval frigates. Everything is under review. What is the way out for industry? At the Eurosatory defence fair the French Defence Minister Hervé Morin suggested

that to survive the budget cuts, the Euro-pean industry should step up its pursuit of collective research and development and create industrial consortia across Europe.

That is exactly what EDA, the Euro-pean Defence Agency, has done. Since July 2004, EDA has been preparing the field for more European collaboration. EDA thus provides opportunities for industrial restructuring and progress towards the continental-scale demand and market which industry needs. Vari-ous EDA activities involve training and education.

The continued pressure on defence budgets is accentuating the need to find more efficient ways of providing capa-bility to the forces. EDA has recognised that defence co-operation is a highly complex and challenging business that cannot happen effectively without a large population of key actors with the skills, common understanding and val-ues to work in co-operative programmes. Back in 2007 the National Armaments Directors therefore directed the Agency to focus in particular on education in European armaments acquisitions. The result is the European Armaments Co-operation (EAC) Framework, a set of skills, understanding and values across eight defined knowledge areas. Against this backdrop, the EDA is establishing

with the participating Member States a database of training and education cur-rently available for international students and is developing options for an internet-based distance-learning package. This intelligent approach will then result in a Europe-wide common understanding of and approach to armaments co-operation that will benefit all, including industry.

There are two significant projects that are leveraging this strategy of coop-eration: AEJPT and UCATT.

AEJPtThe aim of the Advanced European Jet Pilot Training System (AEJPT) project is to develop a common Integrated Train-ing System (ITS) to train future fighter pilots. Current programme partici-pants include Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Sweden; Germany and Switzerland are observers. For many years the pro-gramme was simply plodding along. In February 2009, the AEJPT was adopted by EDA; it is currently in a pre-contract phase. In May 2010, the AEJPT Policy Group (PG) decided, amongst other things, that the AEJPT will be based on

a mix of jet and turbo prop aeroplanes, with two bases in the south of Europe and one deployment base in the north. The business model calls for medium- to high-level outsourcing.

The competition model provides for EU-limited distribution with a maximum of five competitors. EDA has released a Request for Information (RFI) to the industry on behalf of the contributing Member States. This information will be used as the basis for a Request for Pro-posals scheduled for October 2011 that will cover development and produc-tion. Bidders’ selection is scheduled for July 2012; the contract will be awarded in 2014. The initial operational capabil-ity is scheduled for 2017, and, finally, the AEJPT should achieve full operational capability in 2020.

UcAttIn September 2010, under the mandate of the NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG), the UCATT Task Group will conduct a technical interoperability demonstration that has all the poten-tial to redefine live training in built-up areas. UCATT stands for Urban Com-

bat Advanced Training Technology. The event will show live training systems interoperability between various tech-nologies and vendors. It will include small arms, combat vehicles, anti-tank weapons, indoor and outdoor tracking, shoot through walls, exercise conduct and evaluation. Soldiers from the Neth-erlands, Germany, Sweden and Switzer-land will participate on behalf of NATO and PfP Nations.

First technical implementations of the UCATT concept will be provided by UCATT’s industry partners Cubic, NSC, RDE, RUAG, SAAB and Ten-etec. If UCATT’s vision of unclassified, interoperable, multi-national, industry-independent urban training technology architecture becomes a reality, armies from different countries could more eas-ily train together. When obstacles set by proprietary hardware and interfaces dis-appear, industry can compete on a much larger scale.

In aircraft maintenance, fatigue refers to “the tendency of met-als to break under repeated

cyclic loading at a stress consider-ably less than the tensile strength in a static test”. The traditional defi-nition of fatigue, i.e., tiredness, is still to this day taboo. To a certain extent, the maintenance culture regards fatigue as a weakness rather than an inevitable outcome of intense and prolonged work periods. This might explain why, if you were to review Canadian Forces (CF) flight safety occurrences, you would find that fatigue is not cited as a cause; how-ever, there is evidence that fatigue may be a contributor.

Fatigue is a real threat to effective operations. For example, in 2009, there

was fuel spill experienced by a CC130 Hercules deployed at Kandahar Airfield (KAF). It occurred during a fuel trans-fer from external to internal fuel tanks. The maintenance personnel planned to use the dump valves to speed up the fuel transfer process. For the majority of CC130 fleet, the switches for these valves are covered and witness wired closed. The configuration of the occur-rence aircraft is slightly different as it is an “H” model with air-to-air refu-eling capability. Thus, the maintenance technicians broke the witness wire and opened the valve while operating the fuel dump pump. These actions resulted in a fuel spill. The investigation report identifies the cause as a skill-based error by the technician due to not recognizing

the difference in aircraft configuration. Interestingly, the investigation report also indicates that the technicians’ men-tal state (“reduced attention-stress”) was a factor in the occurrence. The crew had just arrived in theatre, been imme-diately sent to KAF, and reported to be fatigued due to local conditions and lim-ited acclimatization period.

Most will agree that, with the increasing number of operations, our personnel resources are being stretched. To produce the required air assets to support operations, mainte-nance personnel either work longer hours or alternatively may be tempted to omit checklists and use shortcuts in order to hasten the completion of the task. From a flight safety perspective, both situations are worrisome. Work-ing longer hours will sooner or later lead to fatigue with its accompanying degradation of alertness and perform-ance. Using unapproved shortcuts ver-sus following accepted procedures is a greater concern because it compro-mises safety and may degrade the com-ponent’s life and aircraft performance. It is clear that adequate manning is the solution to the shortage of person-nel; however, when faced with a short-age, we have to manage the situation. This requires an understanding of what fatigue is and how to deal with it.

The primary sources of fatigue are insufficient sleep (significantly less than the optimal quota of sleep over an extended period), extended wakeful-ness (long duty days, sustained opera-tions), and changing schedules. The effects of fatigue are similar to those of alcohol. Go without sleep for 17 hours and your performance will mirror some-one with 0.05 blood alcohol content (BAC). Stay awake for 24 hours and you can expect to perform at a level similar to a 0.10 BAC. It is said that generally, we are lousy judges of our own fatigue levels. Thus, we must actively look for and recognize the objective indicators of fatigue in ourselves and other team members. If you recognize the effects of

fatigue in yourself or others, don’t keep it a secret. Assertive-ness is safety and peace of mind. Keep your eyes open for:• Impaired judgment. If you begin to notice faulty judgment and stupid mistakes popping up more than once, fatigue may be a player.• Delayed decisions. Fatigue greatly impacts cognitive and deci-sion-making abilities. Decisions may be delayed and reactions slowed.• Loss of short-term memory and recall. Fatigue impacts short-term memory more than long-term memory. • Shortened attention span. Difficulty experienced with activity requiring concentration. • Shortcuts and procedure deviations. Quick solutions may be counterproductive and downright dangerous.

In the civilian realm, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has shown concerns about the effects of fatigue. In 1990, it included the reduction of accidents and incidents caused by human fatigue in the Aviation Industry to their “Most Wanted List”. In response, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) completed a number of studies into the maintenance working environment, fatigue, and maintenance error/accidents. The FAA studies confirmed that fatigue was affecting the maintenance community. To alleviate the impact, the FAA implemented education and training sessions on fatigue management for aircraft maintenance personnel. A similar initiative was undertaken by the Canadian Forces with the implementation of Human Performance in Military Avia-tion (HPMA) training. This is a worthwhile initiative that pro-vides the maintenance community with knowledge and coun-termeasures specifically intended to deal with fatigue in the aircraft maintenance environment. Below are some possible preventive measures:• Avoid sleep debt; if you did not get the appropriate amount of sleep during the night, make this a priority over other activities. Try to maintain the same sleep schedule and try to get an aver-age of 8 hours (or as necessary) per night. • Carefully plan your work activities; proper timing of work activities can be of paramount importance to decreasing the effects of fatigue.• Optimize sleeping quarters; sleep mask and ear plugs can improve conditions if suitable accommodations are unavailable.• Avoid alcohol and caffeine before bed; they may disrupt sleep. • Assign an adequate number of qualified maintenance per-sonnel to tasks; avoid disruption of on-going tasks. • Recognize when personnel are fatigued; transfer some tasks to a more alert crew member.

The FAA is currently not considering the establishment of duty time limits for aircraft maintenance personnel, despite NTSB seeking a regulation to this effect. There are also no duty-time limits for CF aircraft maintenance personnel. Not-withstanding the lack of duty-time limits, all of us have a duty to preserve airworthiness and ensure safety. Thus, all of us individually have a responsibility to plan and use rest periods properly in order to minimize incurring fatigue. We also have a duty of not letting ourselves go beyond safe practices and set aside our values as professionals in this very specialized field of aircraft maintenance. Remember: Safety is no Accident! ms&t

Rather than shrinking or at best stagnating, Eurosatory is strengthening its position

as an international leader in the land, air-land and security domains. Despite the current economic climate, the 10th Eurosatory Exhibition, 14 to 18 June, at the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, has expanded in every sector: the 1330 exhibitors reflected 10% more stand numbers and exhibition surface area, there was an increase in the total number of visitors and there was a sig-nificant increase in civilian and military decision-makers.

The range of products presented at the bi-annual trade fair is wide: it includes armaments, pyrotechnics, elec-tronics, information technology, power supply, tests - controls - instrumenta-tion, logistics, materials, mechanical engineering, optics - optronics, robot-ics, platforms - propulsion, health and hygiene, critical infrastructure secu-rity, services, telecommunications and homeland defence equipment. 128 com-panies, almost 10% of this year’s exhibi-tors, claimed they had something to do with training or simulation, a third more

than at the 2006 Eurosatory, when the organisers first took note of S&T. Since 2008, a Simulation & Training Cluster has brought together in one dedicated area companies that have training, mod-elling and simulation related activities in their portfolio. This year, the S&T Clus-ter was placed in a privileged location, giving maximum visibility to the spe-cialist firms that might otherwise have got lost in the accumulation of armoury materiel. Real S&T experts would not have found anything particularly new in this technology showcase; however, this S&T stage did address the many interested generalists who were look-ing for answers to their pressing train-ing needs. And visitors did come; S&T exhibitors later unanimously praised the quantity and quality of visitors at their booths.

A small but fine three-day free confer-ence right in the heart of the S&T Cluster accompanied the exhibition. Under the proven guidance of Dr. Emmanuel Chiva from HPC PROJECT experts shared their vision of simulation’s potential and where it interacts with other disciplines, for instance Simulation & Intelligence/

C4ISR. But more down-to-earth topics were also on the agenda, such as S&T in urban terrain. Participants noted as posi-tive that the conference was not over-loaded – people first and foremost come for the exhibition itself.

Not all S&T providers had gathered in and around the dedicated cluster. Some preferred to stay in or close to their national pavilion, or were integrated more or less visibly into their parent group’s stand – for many of the big arms manufacturers S&T plays no more than a limited role in both the portfolio and the exhibition – a fact that becomes clearly visible at events like Eurosatory.

Hidden attractions were often dis-covered by chance. Yet the displays of Eurosatory hide many treasures for the attentive observer. Where else could you stop and check out training features integrated into the digital turret sys-tem of a main battle tank and compare it with reality, just a few metres away right inside the fighting compartment of a genuine Leopard MBT? But you could at Rheinmetall’s outdoor static display. Certainly there was more than this to be seen at Eurosatory – but we couldn’t find it.

Never have there been more S&T companies at Eurosatory than this year. One doesn’t have to be a prophet to fore-cast that this trend will continue - for the big players it is just too enticing to go to one event with the complete range of equipment. So, will these armoury trade shows cut the ground from under the traditional S&T events? Not in the near future. General military trade fairs are just too big and complex. Smaller exhibitors risk being missed unless they manage to make their way onto the island of a tech-nology cluster. And visitors should know that Eurosatory (and similar events) address the generalist not the specialist. S&T experts are more likely to find what they are looking for at ITEC or I/ITSEC than at Eurosatory.

Companies in and around the Train-ing & Simulation Cluster included AER-OPHILE SA, Antycip Simulation, Circle Twelve Inc, Comcat Training Systems, CS Communication & Systemès, Digin-ext, GAVAP, HPC Project, i3M Aerospace Multimedia, Immersion SAS, MASA Group, NTSA, Parallel Geometry, Presa-gis, Sekvenca Inc, SimplySim, Sterela, Wils Systems, Zenvia, and SIMBIOSYS (the French Simulation Alliance). ms&t

The Farnborough Interna-tional Airshow 2010 (FIA), held between 19 and 25 July 2010

played host to 1,450 exhibiting compa-nies and an estimated 120,000 visitors on each trade day. 70 delegations from 44 countries attended the show and by the end of the week orders totalled $47 bil-lion (£31 billion). Here are some selected news items that caught the eye.

A broad spectrum of Elbit Systems’ innovative solutions designed for the changing requirements of the defence industry were on display at FIA. The com-pany’s booth focused on advanced train-ing and simulation solutions and show-cased an array of next generation avionic systems, advanced electronic warfare, electro-optics and unmanned systems demonstrating its core business areas.

CockpitNG™, the next generation cockpit for fighter aircraft, helicopters, trainers and airlifters was launched by Elbit Systems during the show. Cock-pitNG is based on a smart central large area display (LAD) which includes all avionic components in one suite. The display is fully integrated with the helmet mounted and head-up displays. All of the

systems’ components were developed in a multi-touch-screen technology in order to allow the pilot to operate the aircraft in the most smooth and customizable man-ner. This new modular solution enhances mission excellence and reduced aircrew workload and can be tailored to multi-ple platforms offering full multi-mission support for attack, emergency services, training and air support.

To ensure accurate presentation

of mission data, CockpitNG includes a full suite of next generation avionics applications, simultaneously supporting Windows-based and real-time applica-tions. Advanced data and sensor fusion, a smart electronic flight bag and a 3D vector map including embedded video and highway-in-the-sky (HITS) repre-sentation are fully integrated. Embedded virtual avionics (EVA) with full support for virtual radar, EW and targeting pod further extend the solution to provide a cost-effective, virtual advanced fighter for training purposes.

Grob Aircraft AG has joined forced with Elbit Systems to partner in the devel-opment of a new family of trainer aircraft, the G 120TP. This family is based on a modular aircraft concept. One aircraft in three different configurations, namely as a side-by-side aircraft, a tandem-seat aircraft and a four-seat aircraft, where all three aircraft maintain a maximum of commonality, guaranteeing operating cost effectiveness. The aircraft will fea-ture an Elbit Systems avionic suite which includes a glass cockpit with a high level of mission simulation capability incorpo-rating virtual tactical training.

The glass cockpit features three digital 6”x8” independent smart, multi-functional displays (SMFD), enabling maximum situational awareness and flight safety with a high level of mission simulation and capability for visual tacti-cal training. The new aircraft family will be marketed globally by Grob Aircraft.

AgustaWestland, a Finmeccanica Company, and Osprey Training of Swe-den signed an agreement for the estab-lishment of a fully integrated Search and Rescue Training Centre in Sweden, based on the AW139 medium twin turbine heli-copter. Under this agreement, the Centre will provide AgustaWestland accredited training services to pilots, crewmen and maintenance technicians from AW139 operators across the Scandinavian and Baltic regions. The purpose-built training centre will be located in Gothenburg and will become operational by mid-2012.

Osprey Training is a newly created company to emerge from Norrlandsflyg A.B., the largest helicopter operator and only SAR operator in Sweden. The crea-tion of the first AgustaWestland accred-ited training centre in Scandinavia will initially be certified in accordance with Swedish CAA regulations, with the intention of expanding into EASA and FAA regulated training.

The training centre will be equipped with a dual-certified AW139 Level 3 flight training device / Level B full flight simula-tor and further training devices to deliver AW139 pilot and maintenance engineer training alongside SAR mission-specific training.

Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) announced at Farnborough 2010 that it has selected CAE USA as its ground-based training systems provider for the Beechcraft AT-6 Light Attack and Armed Reconnaissance (LAAR) aircraft. Under the teaming agreement, CAE USA will support HBC’s global pursuit cam-paigns of the AT-6 aircraft.

CAE USA will provide a compre-hensive ground-based training system as part of an expected AT-6 aircraft sale. This will include aircrew and mainte-nance technician training solutions for the AT-6 platform. CAE’s responsibilities will include training system design and analysis, design and manufacture of syn-thetic training equipment, courseware development, classroom and simulator instruction, and training support serv-ices. CAE will also develop embedded

aircraft simulation solutions for the AT-6 and other T-6 aircraft variants.

Hawker Beechcraft also announced that it had delivered the first eight Beechcraft T-6A military trainers ordered by the Iraqi Air Force and is on schedule to deliver seven more of the high per-formance turboprop aircraft by the end of the year.

“The T-6A is playing a significant role in the growth and modernization of the Iraqi Air Force,” said Jim Maslowski, HBC president, US and International Government Business. “As the roles of the Iraqi military forces expand, it is essential that their training and capabil-ities keep pace with the technology and sophistication of the systems they uti-

lize. The T-6A will prepare Iraqi pilots to transition into 21st century aircraft that are considerably more complex than the equipment they previously employed.”

To date, the T-6 has been used to train pilots in approximately 20 different countries. Deliveries of the T-6 began in 2000 after the aircraft was initially selected to fill the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System role for the US Air Force and the US Navy. Since then, additional military programs worldwide, including NATO Flying Training in Canada, the Hellenic Air Force of Greece, the Israeli Air Force, the Iraqi Air Force and the Royal Moroccan Air Force, have chosen the T-6 and its derivatives as their pri-mary trainers. ms&t

for US Army Brigade Combat Team (BCT) training at Home Stations is a goal of the US Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI). A milestone was marked in July when PEO STRI awarded its Live, Virtual, Constructive Integrating Archi-tecture (LVC-IA) contract to Cole Engi-neering Services, Inc. (CESI) in Orlando. The contract has an estimated value of $36 million over a five-year period if all options are exercised. CESI, the prime system of systems integrator, leads the team of Accenture, the Camber Corpora-tion, Engineering and Computer Simula-tions (ECS), Intelligent Decision Systems, Inc. (IDSI) and Wilberforce University.

“The mission of LVC-IA is to provide the foundational structure and frame-work for integrating live, virtual, con-structive systems into the integrated Warfighter’s training environment, as well as mitigate many of the cur-rent training gaps that currently exist,” said Deven Lyders, the PEO STRI engi-neer overseeing that agency’s LVC-IA efforts. “It defines ‘how’ information is exchanged among the LVC domains and Battle Command Systems. It also addresses the standards, protocols and required interfaces that support the

interoperability and integration of com-mon LVC components.”

LVC-IA is a network-centric linkage that collects, retrieves and exchanges data among live instrumentation, virtual simulators, and constructive simula-tions as well as between joint and Army battle command systems, Lyders further explained. LVC-IA will allow all the sys-tems to operate together at near real-time, he pointed out. This will provide a “train as you operate” capability within an integrated LVC training environment for brigade commanders, battlestaff and individual soldiers on tactical-level collective tasks found in the Units Mis-sion Essential Task List (METL). Lead-ers and soldiers will have the ability to make those critical decisions on the battlefield without any delay between systems, provide command and con-trol during their mission rehearsals and training, as well as evaluate their units, Lyders added.

“One of the things that LVC-IA brings to the Army is a persistent LVC training capability,” said CESI presi-dent Bryon Cole. “Until now, most of the LVC interoperability has been ad hoc and opportunistic, whereas the LVC-IA will be a leave-behind infrastructure at Home Station that the Brigade com-mander can actually employ to train at Home Station in an LVC integrated

environment. It’s his own asset, which can be used to plan and schedule train-ing in preparation to deployment to the National Training Center or wherever, as compared to coordinating with external department organizations for one-time training events.”

Because the Brigade commander will have this training system in place, there will be more opportunities to schedule LVC training exercises. Such an asset will enable training prior to the next rotation of a unit, for example, Cole said. The LVC-IA will also provide a higher fidelity of training, lead to more effective training and lower training costs, he added.

Several training systems will be integrated into the LVC-IA. The Live-Homestation Instrumentation Training System (HITS) will be the live training touch point for LVC-IA. HITS supports collective maneuver training for pla-toon-through-battalion units for force-on-force and force-on target training across the full spectrum of operations. For the virtual domain, the Close Com-bat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) and Avia-tion Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (AVCATT) will be integrated into LVC-IA. In the constructive domain, the Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC) Entity Resolution Federation and the One Semi-Automated Forces (OneSAF) will be integrated. Overall, the LVC-IA will provide the ability to stimulate Army and Joint Battle Command Systems and enable such-equipped units to exchange data, information, and serv-ices and accept the same from other current and future systems, units, or forces, Lyders explained.

“The LVC-IA is also focused on reuse, taking advantage of the products that PEO STRI has provided in training domains,” Cole pointed out. “The LVC-IA networked systems will permit those training systems to interoperate so that there is the capability for LVC inter-operability with the Battle Command structure just like there would be in the real world.”

According to Lyders, PEO STRI is anticipating initial fielding at Forts Hood, Bliss and Campbell with the first incre-ment of LVC-IA in FY 2012. Nine more systems will follow this fielding over the next four consecutive years at both CONUS and OCONUS duty stations. ms&t

Joint strike Fighter newsCanada selects Lockheed Martin F-35 – The Government of Canada plans to acquire 65 lockheed Martin F-35 lightning iis as the country's next-generation fighter aircraft and will use them to replace its current fleet of CF-18 Hornets that entered service in the early 1980s. Delivery of Canada's F-35s will begin in 2016.

The F-35 is a supersonic, multi-role, 5th-generation stealth fighter devel-oped and funded by a consortium of nine countries, including Canada. it is designed to excel in both air-to-air and air-to-ground operations and features the most comprehensive and powerful avionics of any fighter ever produced. lockheed Martin is developing the F-35 with its principal industrial partners, northrop Grumman and BaE systems.NGRAIN to Deliver Canadian F-35 Maintenance Training Programs – nGRain has announced that it will deliver training programs and main-tenance support systems for the F-35 lightning ii Joint strike Fighter (JsF) aircraft. Maintainers of the F-35 will be using nGRain's 3D technology as the backbone for the low Observable Health assessment system (lOHas) which is designed to support the maintenance operations for the aircraft.

in 2005 nGRain received a C$5 million Technology Partnership Canada investment to enhance its products and technology in support of the advanced capabilities of the F-35. This investment was used by nGRain to support oppor-tunities within the JsF program and resulted in the transformation of aircraft damage assessment and repair tracking. With nGRain's advanced virtual dam-age assessment and repair tracking soft-ware, Canadian aircraft maintainers will record damage and repair information on a true-to-life 3D model of the F-35.

NGC Delivers F-35 Courseware – northrop Grumman Corporation has added momentum to the planned summer 2010 opening of lockheed Martin's integrated Training Center at Eglin aFB, Fl, by delivering the first set of courseware needed to train pilots and aircraft maintainers. The electronic materials include all of the presentation materials that classroom instructors will use to teach pilots how to fly the F-35, and maintainers how to repair and support the aircraft. The courseware also includes students' self-study materials and pilot briefing materials used to support F-35 simula-tor and flight training events.

northrop Grumman, a princi-pal subcontractor on the lockheed Martin-led F-35 industry team, deliv-ered the first block of courseware for maintainers in March, followed by the first block of courseware for pilots in april. according to Peter leung, leader of northrop Grumman's courseware integrated product team, much of the company's expertise in courseware derives from its experiences as the air

Force's prime contractor on the B-2 spirit stealth bomber, where it had similar training development respon-sibilities.

course taught there. The newer models will replace the a and B model aircraft the base currently uses to train F-15 aircraft maintenance students on how to maintain mission capability for C and D models, currently used on operational flightlines.

The newer models were acquired from Tyndall air Force Base, Fla., and then altered for use as trainer aircraft by remov-ing all the explosives to make them safe. These trainers “will help instructors give the students the type of training they actu-ally need when they get to a flightline,” said Tech. sgt. Gerry sasser, a 362nd Training squadron F-15 aircraft maintenance instructor.

"The older models don't have all the pieces and parts that the newer models have in them," he said. "For example, the F-15C and F-15D have a multiple purpose color display in the cockpit that is not on the F-15B. some of the controls are in different spots. also, the launchers on the side are different from the new launchers. They will never see F-15B launchers again in their career. The launchers on the newer F-15 models are what they will actually see on a flightline.

Helicopter TrainingNew AH-1Z Helicopter Simulator Ready to Train – The only aH-1Z full-motion cockpit simulator is ready for training at Camp Pendleton, Calif., the initial training site for all Marine Corps pilots transitioning from the aH-1W super Cobra to the new aH-1Z helicopter.

since 1994, sEsaM, the society in Europe

for simulation applied to Medicine, has

been promoting the use of simulation in

medicine for the purpose of training and

research.

This year’s annual meeting, the 16th,

was organised by the University Medical

Center Groningen and the University of

Twente, (both netherlands), the Charité

Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Germany),

and the MsR israel Center for Medical

simulation. The event, held from 16 to 18

June 2010 in Groningen, attracted about

270 participants from 18 countries. Under

the conference title “linking high tech to

high touch”, attendees: gained insights

into the latest advances and innovations

in medical simulation for assessment

and training; heard about the growing

number of opportunities for multidisci-

plinary and multicentre collaboration;

and, learned more about current and up-

and-coming simulation-based research.

The keynote by amitai Ziv from

israel explored the use of simulation for

high-stake assessments in medicine

- a method well received by test par-

ticipants. Richard Reznik from Canada

discussed the role of simulation when

integrated into the educational strategy

of a department. Jan Maarten schragen,

netherlands, drew connections between

cognition and the use of simulation for

learning, exploring the unique possibili-

ties for learning. albert scherpbier from

the netherlands discussed the chal-

lenges still encountered when simulation

is implemented into curricula and when

drawing on educational theories dur-

ing simulation use. Rein Willems, former

president of shell netherlands, explored

the role of simulation in an organisation

aimin for safety at all levels of opera-

tion. The keynote lectures were comple-

mented by presentations, workshops,

pro-con debates and roundtables.

The next sEsaM meeting will be in

Granada, spain from 1 to 4 June 2011.

news from eurosatoryRheinmetall’s MBT Revolution – Main battle tanks play a role in current conflicts and will continue to do so in future conflicts - not least because they will remain in the military inventories for decades. Originally conceived for tank battles, they have to be retrofit-ted for today’s asymmetric scenarios, where they can produce a massive show of force. Rheinmetall’s conversion programme, called MBT Revolution, balances force protection and force projection. One essential element is the digital turret concept where, for the first time ever, an automated operating


and weapon engagement concept gives the Rheinmetall system a hunter/killer capability. Combined with an intelli-gent C4i system it features augmented reality and enables training to take place directly inside the vehicle in simulation mode.Elbit Systems Next-Generation Joint Command and Staff Trainer – The novel CsT provided by the israeli company offers full C4i connectivity to all command and staff levels while allowing joint forces training via an advanced virtual battle space scenario. it simulates complex, joint operations in high- and low-intensity conflicts, as well as operations other than war (OOTW), providing a complete virtual arena, including opposing forces, civilian population, infrastructures, open and urban terrains and weather conditions. CsT’s modular and flexible software is installed on standard COTs hardware and meeting global training and simula-tion standards.Convoy Protection Training by RUAG – The “simulateur de Tir d’Equipage et de section” (sTEs simula-tor) is RUaG’s reference product when it comes to training vehicle commanders

and gunners in asymmetric scenarios. The simulator seen on the RUaG booth replicates the VBCi, the new infantry fighting vehicle of the French army. in addition to the basic control, opera-tion and firing functions, the replicated Battle Management system allows the entire communication and information platform to be trained. a modern CGF (computer-generated forces) system also enables virtual infantrymen to be controlled in out-of-vehicle states. sTEs is being realised as a turnkey solution together with the French partner com-pany GaVaP. Ten sites with a total of 48 cabins will be provided.GAVAP and CS Showcase Urban Warfare Training System – The consortium comprising the two French companies has been selected to develop the pilot system for syMUlZUB, a live simulation for military operations in urban terrain for the French MOUT training centre (CEnZUB). GaVaP is the national expert for live and virtual simulation programs for ground combat, while Cs brings its expertise in virtual reality simulations, capitalising on the technical solutions developed by its sub-sidiary DiGinEXT. a large-screen display demonstrated the integration of real personnel into the MOUT set-up, and gave an outlook on the French army’s Joeffrecourt urban warfare training facil-ity at sissonne, northern France, which should be ready in 2015.

m visibility. it can be used as a multiple-launch device, remote-controlled by Chemring’s PDa.Noptel Presents Progressive Marksmanship Training – The Finn-ish company noptel demonstrated the three-phase noptel integrated Rifle Marksmanship (iRM) Programme that makes a skilled shooter out of a soldier. The training is safe and does not require live fire safety precautions. it can be arranged anywhere, even in the garrison area. yet it is portable and can be easily carried to a shooting range, where the shooter can use real-size standing tar-gets, pop-up targets, turning targets and moving targets. at the end of the iRM training programme the soldier is ready for live ammunition training on a con-trolled manoeuvre range, where he will learn tactical skills and more advanced operations in the field.i3M Canopy Control Simulator – The Toulouse-based sME, in association with the French army, introduced Pass. Based on immersive 3D technology, Pass is innovative in the field of parachuting.

While suspended in a real parachute harness, the student trains in a virtual reality to improve their descent. a real-istic simulation is obtained using a large range of parameter settings such as the choice of the canopy type, the weather conditions, the terrain, the parachut-ist equipment, the dropping point, and incident occurring or not.

ESDT Promotes Private Tactical and Technical Training Centre – The French distributor of military equipment for special Forces EsDT informed about the company’s 2,500 m2 privately run tactical and technical training centre. The centre was designed to meet the needs of collective training for armed forces personnel (special and conven-tional), law enforcement officers, task forces (police and gendarmerie), foreign special units, as well as the administra-tion’s safety departments, air and rail transport companies, bank security, and for people responsible for managing trouble spots. This rather unique training facility recruits specialised instructors on a case-by-case basis, according to the customer's individual training needs.Chemring Showcases ManPAD Mis-sile Simulator – Chemring’s German subsidiary, which is well-known for its weapon effect simulators, presented the further development of the company’s ManPaD Missile simulator, which flies higher and further than any other of its kind. it realistically simulates the effects (blast, bright light and smoke trail, plus strong plume in the iR-spectrum of light) during the launch phase of many types of portable surface-launched ground-to-air missiles. The new equipment, developed together with an undisclosed customer, exceeds the performance of the actual equipment, which has a burn-ing time of 3 seconds and at least 3,000

Other Training NewsUS Plans Military Training Centre in Tajikistan – The United States plans to spend close to $10 million to build a training center for armed forces in Tajikistan, according to the country’s U.S ambassador, Ken Gross. He said Washington hopes to sign a deal to build the training center by this fall and open it sometime next year.

No U.S. troops would be stationed at The Karatag National Training Center and it would be administered by the Tajik National Guards and open for all Tajik forces, he said. The center will be located about 45 km (30 miles) from Dushanbe.Cubic Expands in Orlando – Cubic Corporation expanded its presence in Orlando's Research Park by co-locating its Defense Systems and Mission Sup-port Services business development and selected program management offices for the geographic convenience of their customers. The Research Park location will also serve as a focal point for the development of new Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) integration capabili-ties. Cubic's current LVC efforts include the U.S.-Australia Joint Combined Train-ing Capability and the Alaska Training Range Evolution Plan.Northrup Grumman Upgrades US Navy's Firebee – Some of the oldest aerial targets in the U.S. Navy's inven-tory can now be used for some of the service's most advanced training mis-sions thanks to the recent on-schedule completion of an avionics upgrade of those targets by Northrop Grumman Corporation.

The company completed deliveries of 25 BQM-34S Firebee aerial targets to the Navy that were retrofitted with mod-ern avionics hardware from the service's primary target system, the Northrop Grumman-produced BQM-74E. As part of this Avionics Upgrade program, Northrop Grumman also provided updated operational flight program software, training of Navy personnel and flight test support.

Aerial targets are unmanned, aircraft-like systems used by the military to simulate tactical threats posed by enemy aircraft and missiles. They are typically used to test and evaluate sur-face ship defensive weapons systems or to train pilots in air-to-air combat tech-niques. The new avionics and software

added to the BQM-34Ss give the targets fully autonomous waypoint naviga-tion and an improved ability to perform intricate maneuvers at extremely low altitudes, according to Hans Dall, pro-gram manager of the BQM-34 Targets Program for Northrop Grumman's Aero-space Systems sector. ms&t

military Flight Simulator Census

MS&T’s annual census of military flight simulators reveals an increase in simu-

lator numbers of over 30 compared to our 2009 census, despite a large group of unit training Devices (utDs) that last year were listed with single-window vis-uals, but turned out to be simpler Cockpit Procedure trainers (CPt) without visu-als. the 2009 figures were an increase of over 250 compared to those for 2008, which in turn were an increase over those for 2007. although there are uncer-tainties regarding the numbers, primarily because of the difficulty of capturing all current military devices, there is evi-dence of growth indicating an increasing reliance on simulation in training.

this is not surprising in this era of recession, high cost of aircraft pro-grammes and the resultant budget con-straints. most militaries have recognised the advantages of modern simulation technology and are using it more than in the past. on a life-cycle cost (lCC) basis, the cost ratio for military simulators com-pared to using the aircraft itself is touted to be between 1:10 and 1:20, that is, heavily in favour of simulation.

in this census, training devices are listed that have either an outside-the-window (otW) visual system or a motion system, or both, and full-size cockpit con-trols. except for a few “open plan” devices, they have full-size replica cockpits. at one end of the spectrum we find utDs with only one visual channel. at the other end there are Full mission Simulators, many having multi-channel wide-angle visuals with domes or partial domes, and some having motion systems with all of the six degrees-of-freedom, similar to a civil Full Flight Simulator (FFS).

looking first at the distribution of flight simulators by nation (table 1), it is no surprise that the uSa leads. What is unexpected is the magnitude of the num-bers in the uSa compared to any other

edited by Ian Strachan.

nation, 850 in the uSa compared to the next country, the uK, with only 94. the order of other nations can be seen in the table, and some may surprise you. Despite mS&t’s efforts to obtain information, the numbers for some nations are certainly underestimated. For instance, we have not managed to track down the simu-lators made by the ex-Penza company which used to claim that they had made simulators for most types of russian mili-tary aircraft. Very few simulators are listed for China even though the PlaaF is the world’s third largest air force; obtaining information about military simulators for this country is difficult.

Within the uSa, the air Force leads with nearly 460 devices, followed by the navy with over 170. the army weighs in with over 110, illustrating the size of its air arm. the uS marine Corps also has a large air arm with 90 devices available for training.

turning to simulators vs. aircraft

roles, over 1050 simulators are for fighter type aircraft, over 440 for rotary-wing and nearly 270 for large multi-engined types. For fighters, trainers and ground attack aircraft (the centre-line thrust category) wide-view directly-projected visuals pre-vail over collimated displays and motion platforms. For extra cueing, vibrators and motion-seats are used in some designs. of the 1000 or so fighter simulators, only about 100 have motion seats and only 60 have anti-G-suit inflation. in the rotary and large aircraft categories, the civil Full Flight Simulator design is frequently used. this has a 6 degree-of-freedom motion platform and a wide view visual, often with display optics with distant focal length.

nearly 580 simulators can be net-worked with other training or live devices,

We invite comments and corrections to the tables. Updates can be incorporated on the census summary on our web page that is revised more often than the annual printed version.

about 60 are designed to be transport-able, over 30 have two separate cock-pits (for instance in separate domes), 16 have head-tracking, 15 are for research, and 14 have roll-on roll-off (roro) cock-pits. Simulation can be used for training pilots in various aspects of spatial diso-rientation, and 35 disorientation trainers capable of full freedom in yaw are listed in the tables. For real high-G training, 22 man-rated centrifuges are listed that are capable of training for G values over six.

the simulator manufacturers are

summarised in table 2. link is well in the lead with 323 devices in service. Cae has 260 devices in service; then comes thales, Boeing, FSi and lockheed martin. What might be unexpected is the order after this, led by environmen-tal tectonics (uSa and Poland), then elbit (israel and romania), rockwell Collins and Frasca.

the census illustrates the extensive and growing use of simulation technol-ogy in military flight training. and no wonder there is growth. For example,

speaking of the training schedule for the C-17 Globemaster iii transport aircraft a keynoter at the recent i/itSeC noted only two aircraft handling sorties are needed before initial checkout, because these are preceded by 26 sorties on a full flight simulator with wide visuals and an electric 6-axis motion platform.

Finally, it is worth noting that almost a third of the devices are networked, not only with other training aids but some with live assets as well. this also is an important and growing trend. ms&t
