Realistic flight training in demanding environments
We understand that every hour of military flight training time must be utilized to the greatest extent possible. Every training sortie has to be rigorously planned as well as professionally and efficiently executed—every time, all year round.
Validate tactics and ensure the proficiency of your airborne units with FMV Test and Evaluation (T&E). From basic flight training through advanced tactical training to deployment and combat readiness training, take the opportunity to develop and implement the training scenarios you need with our specialists on the ground and in the air.
