”In addition, student pilots trained with our Cockpit 4000 NexGen will be able to transition efficiently to fifth-generation fighters such as the JSF F-35,” Yeldon added.

Featuring a 20in x 7in large area display (LAD) with touchscreen technology, the new Cockpit 4000 NexGen is intended to improve mission effectiveness and provide cross-platform training flexibility for advanced military trainers, as well as intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and light attack aircraft.

The modular system is also equipped with a new all-digital raster video capable SparrowHawk Head-Up Display (HUD), which will also be demonstrated by the company for the first time during the show.

The HUD features internal data logging and continuous in-flight testing capability, and can also be integrated with an optional HUD Camera, video recording system and an Up Front Control Panel, to enable manual entry of numerical data in the mission system by the pilot.

The Cockpit 4000 NexGen can also be configured to represent several front-line fighters, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and F-22 Raptor for training missions.
