The new design of Visual Display Systems will permit the building to accommodate four FMS within the existing simulator halls.

Under the second contract, ten cockpits in the FMS and CT will be replaced at all the German Eurofighter bases in Neuburg, Laage, Wittmund, Nörvenich and the Central Integration Facility at Airbus Manching.

The modern cockpit replicas within the PSTS will perform German missions with great efficiency.

For the German MOBs, all PSTS cockpits will be equipped with a full suite of cockpit displays and control panels.

The latest upgrades will include a newly developed head-up-display, a G-seat motion cueing system, an anti-G inflation system and a breathing air system.

Developed by Airbus, all the systems will be controlled by a cockpit linkage system compatible with night vision goggles.

Equipped with LED projection system, the FMS will offer a high-resolution view for pilots irrespective of the time and weather during the training.

A common concept for computer racks, power supplies and emergency equipment will be developed, creating a baseline for future upgrades.
