F-16 Fighting Falcon News
United Arab Emirates Select F-16 Desert Falcon Training System
Weapon Systems Trainers will include a dome-type visual system and the Unit Level Trainers will each have a 150-by-40-degree out-the-window visual system. The Training System's components will interface via local and long-haul networks, and will interface with UAE's existing Mirage 2000-9 training systems.
The WST will serve as the primary training device for the combat-ready pilot to achieve front seat training goals and the ULT will be the primary training device at the squadron level. The training system will deliver real-world operational capabilities for day and night missions in all weather conditions.
Lockheed Martin will supply a mission observation center, support integration between the F-16 and UAE's Mirage 2000-9 training systems, and provide performance evaluation, mission scenario engagement, post-mission review and accounting, and a training management information system.
