Link 16 part task trainer (PTT) |
ACT AIRCREW PTT for link 16 allows pilots to not only work with all aircraft Link 16 relevant avionic, but also exposes the pilots to an operational environment and practice procedures without leaving the ground. The system is in use in several NATO contries in the pilot training and interoperability test role. |
The ACT AIRCREW PTT allows the pilot to utilize all facets of Link 16 operations that apply to the link equipped aircraft. The ACT AIRCREW PTT offers a fully interactable training solution with the capability to practice;
- Interactions between pilot and C2 agencies, as well as
- The entire procedure for Air to Air and
- Air to Ground engagements.

The trainers have a build-in scenario generator, which controls computer controlled forces.
Easily selectable scenarios allow the instructor or the pilots themselves to immediate access and train dynamic setups.
The scenarios are dynamic and not scripted, so they will evolve differently depending on how the pilots apply their tactics.
In summery the system allows pilots to easily setup and practice tactics against computer controlled forces, which react similar to how a RED AIR would react in real life.
