The technology, that can be networked together will allow multiple pilots to train together on advanced scenarios.

Lockheed Martin Training and Simulation Solutions vice-president Sandy Samuel said: “Our solution builds on our proven fifth-generation training system with hardware and software tailored for the F-16.

“By fielding a family of training systems, we can help the Royal Jordanian Air Force reserve higher fidelity devices for more advanced training scenarios and optimise their pilot throughput in training.”

The RJAF’s F-16 training environment includes the Lockheed Martin-developed scalable advanced graphics engine (SAGE) image generator.
