F-16 Block 40/50 MTC

Abstract

F-16 Block 40/50 Mission Training Center (MTC) supports the development, acquisition, fielding and integration of high fidelity, DMO capable flight simulators for F-16 Block 40 and 50 weapon systems. Each MTC includes multiple high fidelity Simulator Cockpits, Instructor Operator Stations, a Threat Server and Brief/Debrief and Mission Observation capability. Each is capable of linking to geographically distributed high-fidelity combat and combat support training devices including Command and Control and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance systems. This capability allows the warfighters at home station to exercise and train at the operational and strategic levels of war as well as conduct networked unit-level training. Funds may be used to address emerging and short-notice Diminishing Manufacturing Sources(DMS) issues. DMS efforts to include removal of end-of-life software/hardware within simulators systems and move to a modular, common open system architecture that is sustainable and cyber-resilient. Implement requirements and standards defined under the Simulator Common Architecture Requirements and Standards initiative. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Full Combat Mission Training capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F. In FY 2019, PE 0207701F, Full Combat Mission Training, Project 655354, F-16 Blk 40/50 MTC efforts were transferred to PE 0207133F, F-16, Project 672671, F-16 Blk 40/50 MTC, in order to transfer programmatic responsibilities and funding to the F-16 weapon system team.
