They have been equipped with the Swiss F/A-18C’s latest operational flight programme upgrade to ensure the devices remain concurrent with the Hornet platform.
Integrated with L-3 Link’s SimuSphere 360° field-of-view visual display, the F/A-18 trainers will provide pilots with visibility of up to 100nm.
They will enable pilots to jointly conduct simulated air-to-air and air-to-ground tactical manoeuvres, aerial refuelling and emergency procedures, as well as allowing joint helmet-mounted cueing system and night vision goggle operations.
