ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed
Martin (NYSE: LMT) will deliver a new simulation-based F-16
training environment for the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) under
a contract valued at nearly $40
million. The family of training systems includes a
comprehensive suite of full mission trainers and combat tactics
trainers that can be networked together, aligning technologies to
deliver advanced training while meeting affordability goals.
"Our solution builds on our proven fifth-generation training
system with hardware and software tailored for the F-16," said
Sandy Samuel, vice president of
Lockheed Martin's Training and Simulation Solutions. "By fielding a
family of training systems, we can help the Royal Jordanian Air
Force reserve higher fidelity devices for more advanced training
scenarios and optimize their pilot throughput in training."
Under this contract, Lockheed Martin will deliver the suite of
simulators in 2018, also providing contractor logistics support
services. The technology can be networked together to enable
multiple pilots to train together on advanced scenarios.
RJAF's F-16 training environment includes the Lockheed
Martin-developed Scalable Advanced Graphics Engine (SAGE) image
generator. SAGE blends the company's expertise in military
simulation with advanced gaming technology to provide richly
detailed images and motion for increased realism in flight
simulation.
Since 2001, Lockheed Martin has delivered F-16 training
solutions and services to airmen from 15 allied nations. The
simulation-based training environment replicates all systems,
sensors and weapons for a total training solution for F-16
pilots.
