At the Dubai Airshow, L-3 Wescam (Stand 1470) introduced a new product line of mission rehearsal and simulation training solutions. The products give MX-system series operators and crew members the option to train individually or as a virtual team using the system's gaming technology. The company is offering hands-on customer demonstrations of a fully networked solution that includes air, ground, maritime and command stations.
The products in the MX-system series can be used as a single part-task trainer or in a full network-centric environment with L-3’s MX-Sim and MX-Sim Lite as well as the fully integrated turnkey tactical mission trainer and flight and ground stations. Virtual Battlespace 3 imaging technology allows multiple users to train together within the same virtual world, regardless of their physical locations. Additionally, each scenario can be customized with predefined weather conditions, terrains, aircraft, vehicles and maritime vessels to replicate real missions.
“Through fully customizable and highly realistic training scenarios, crews are able to practice and evaluate missions in a fully networked virtual scenario before entering into any real-time mission environment," said Rod Till, L-3 Wescam v-p of customer service. "This keeps mission-critical assets in the field, versus using them for dedicated training purposes, and ensures a high level of mission effectiveness at a low cost.”
L-3 Wescam’s mission rehearsal and simulation training portfolio includes product familiarization, operation and organization as well as intermediate-level maintenance courses that can be completed over several years.
