Distributed mission training

Article Abstract:

The US Air Force is endorsing the use of Distributed Mission Training (DMT) for its simulated training needs. The simulator provides real, virtual and constructive systems that provide the trainees a shared individual and collective warfighting environment and a system for full mission training and operation rehearsal capabilities. The system also provides training capabilities for weapons systems and strategic goals. The endorsement is part of Air Force's plan to use high technology products during the training.

The legacy systems challenge

Article Abstract:

The US Air Force's bomber fleet of B-1B, B-52 and B-2 and fighter fleet of F-15 and F-16 must undergo a modernization program. The program involves the upgrading of aircraft avionics and software suites. A modernization program is in line with new developments in microprocessor units and speeds.
