The Israeli Air Force has taken delivery of a new Elbit training system for its M-346 Lavi trainer aircraft.
The Ground Based Training System (GBTS) is intended to qualify pilots and weapon systems operators to progress directly to fourth- and fifth-generation fighter aircraft such as the F-16, F-15 and F-35, according to an Elbit news release.
“A fully networked solution for operational combat training, the GBTS consists of multiple simulators that are connected to each other, creating a joint network, which provides a nearly identical flight environment, obtainable without the time and expense of real flight,” the company said.
“Embedded Tactical Training System (ETTS), Elbit’s cutting-edge technology live training system, provides live training within the GBTS as well as in the real aircraft,” according to Elbit. “The Center’s simulators employ a real-image 360-degree display system, equipped with simulation models of actual weapons systems and high-fidelity Computer Generated Forces (CGF), which, working together, generate a wide range of immersive virtual combat environments.”
