In addition, it consisted of constructive ‘Red Force’ aircraft and ground threats and separate ‘mission rooms’ for live monitor of F-35 and F-18 data.

According to Rockwell, the LVC participants are the significant link required to increase the depth and density of combat training.

It offers the warfighter red flag experience without the logistics challenge of collocating assets and also offers real-time feedback to limit negative training.

Moreover, it comprises over-the-air reloading of keys on the fly, showing how military customers could change from one training scenario to another, eliminating the need of landing the aircraft.
