The contract is worth approximately $36 million and will be delivered over a 28-month period.
These simulators will provide a high fidelity, immersive real flight experience for F-16 pilots by featuring a 360-degree display system and having the FMS interconnected.
One of the primary purposes of FMS is to allow pilots to become familiar with the controls and systems of the aircraft. This can include learning how to navigate, operate the various systems, and understand the aircraft’s capabilities and limitations. FMS can not only help pilots to become familiar with the aircraft, but also enable them to acquire advanced combat flight competencies. This can involve training in tactics and techniques used in various operational environments, as well as practicing the utilization of weapons and other systems. Through the simulation of various scenarios and challenges, pilots can improve their ability to make quick decisions and react to pressure, in addition to enhancing their skills in air-to-air and air-to-ground combat.
