F-35 Lightning II Training Systems (F-35 Training Systems)
 Blistering speeds, superior stealth capability, unmatched power and flexibility. The F-35 Lightning II captures the cutting-edge technology of tomorrow. The lucky few who will fly and maintain these 5th generation strike fighters will first have to master the necessary skills. Lockheed Martin recognizes that the students in need of training are just as complex as the machines themselves. These pilots and maintainers require a training solution that encompasses every aspect of their education.
The F-35 Lightning II Pilot and Maintenance Training systems are designed to blend together a variety of training media to create a total training solution for the state-of-the-art F-35 weapon system. The fully-integrated training center at Eglin AFB, Fla. will be home to a full-spectrum of the latest courseware, electronic classrooms, simulators, flight events and event-based maintenance training. A balance of skill and knowledge training are woven in to the program with innovative interactive courseware, Desktop Simulators and high-fidelity training devices.
In all of the simulators, actual F-35 software is used to give students the most realistic experience possible while accelerating the process for software upgrades as the F-35 continues to develop and mature. The training system also uses many legacy and commercial off-the-shelf software tools to increase the affordability of the total solution. Flexibility is fundamental to the design and is built-in to every element of the system, providing the ability to accommodate all three aircraft variants, all five US and UK services and eight international partner services.
All of this training is scheduled, managed and tracked using a robust Training Management System (TMS) that assists with long-range planning, near-term scheduling and is integrated with a Learning Management System (LMS) that will launch the SCORM 2004 conformant courseware. The TMS will also hold the student training jackets that follow the pilot or maintainer through their F-35 career.
Training doesn't stop after schoolhouse graduation; both pilots and maintainers will have the ability to remain in a continuous learning environment with access to all training courseware, TMS/LMS applications and deployable training devices.
Throughout the F-35 Training System enterprise, the Training System Support Center (TSSC) will be used to manage and distribute training device baselines, update courseware and diagnose both student and system performance. These TSSC capabilities enable the training system to remain current with the aircraft's technology while incorporating the latest training technologies.
F-35 Pilot Training System solution includes:
-
A fully-integrated schoolhouse with the Training Management System that tracks and coordinates every aspect of a student's training from their syllabus to their in-flight training
-
Interactive Courseware that engages students both in and out of the classroom
-
Classes led by highly qualified instructors
-
High-fidelity Full Mission Simulators that give the most realistic training experience possible with a 360-degree field of view
-
Mission Rehearsal Trainers that use the same software as the high fidelity simulators but are self-contained and deployable onboard ships or at austere basing locations
-
Desktop Pilot Training Aids that allow students in the classroom to interface with the F-35 touch panel display and flight representative stick and throttle all while following along with the instructor, merging the virtual environment with the classroom
|
- F-35 Maintenance Training utilizes the same integrated schoolhouse at Eglin AFB and tailors to the learning needs of tomorrow's F-35 maintainers with interactive courseware and instructor-led classes.
The JSF Maintenance Training System solution also includes:
-
The Aircraft System Maintenance Trainer (ASMT) is a scalable, desktop device which hosts computer-based, graphical model simulations of the aircraft providing a practice and test medium for students to perform systems operation maintenance tasks and fault isolation
-
Hardware trainers including a Weapons Loading Trainer (WLT) and an Ejection Systems Maintenance Trainer (ESMT)
-
Maintenance on-the-job training curriculum that extends into the operational units, accomplishing training tasks within the high-demand squadron environment
