Distributed Mission Training (DMT)
Abstract
The Air Force uses Aircrew Training Devices (ATD) to provide realistic, cost effective flight training to aircrews. Some of the training in the ATDs cannot be fully conducted in the aircraft because of safety, airspace, equipment, and security restrictions. The MC-12W Mission Training Center (MTC) Program will provide simulation for pilots and mission system operators. The MC-12W MTC will consist of a cockpit simulator and an aircrew systems simulator, instructor/operator stations, and control equipment work stations. The MTC will be capable of integrating with the Air Force Distributed Mission Operations network that integrates the Air Force's vast array of weapon system simulators. Additionally, the MTC will be able to replicate theater-specific environments and combat situations, overcoming constraints that may limit combat preparation. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.
