By GlobalDataThe P5CTS helps improve US and coalition air combat training. It is used by the USAF, US Marine Corps, US Navy and coalition partners.
It allows users to continuously relay time, space, position information (TSPI) of the aircraft during training exercises.
Furukrona added: “Cubic and Leonardo DRS are continually making capability improvements to the system in support of the USAF goal of sustaining the P5CTS programme of record beyond 2030.”
The company’s P5CTS training platform provides troops with scalable instrumentation solutions.
The ground stations enable the aircrew to carry out ‘air combat training and post-flight debriefing’.
