F-16 Fighting Falcon News

May 21, 2003 (by Lieven Dewitte) - BVR Systems of Rosh Ha'ayin today announced that it won a contract worth $5 million to supply an F-16 training center to an unnamed foreign air force. BVR, which makes defense training and simulation systems, said the training center would comprise two F-16 training devices, a mission simulator and a tactical systems trainer.
"The design and architecture of the simulators is based upon BVR's proven experience in F-16 flight simulators accumulated over the past decade," stated BVR Systems' president and CEO Yoel Katzir. "The company has supplied to various customers more than ten F-16 simulators of different levels of fidelity, including Full Mission Simulators. Winning this program enhanced BVR's position as a world leader in the supply of F-16 simulators."

BVR's F-16 training center enables mission and tactical training and instruction of both new and experienced pilots. During training exercises, pilots are able to train air to air and air to ground combat scenarios in a highly saturated threat environment, BVR says.

The tactical systems trainer enables pilots to train on a vast range of operational tasks and emergency procedures.
