Lockheed Martin expands F-16 training with first deployable mission trainer

This new system is the latest delivery in the comprehensive suite of fully networked, high-fidelity full mission simulators and combat tactics trainers delivering advanced, realistic training.

The DMT provides on demand training in a self-contained environment, enabling the pilots to deploy considerable training capabilities, including the ability to be networked for team training exercises.

“The sustained partnership between Lockheed Martin and international customers continues to shape technological advances in the training industry,” said Gen. John ‘Mick’ Nicholson (U.S. Army Ret.), Lockheed Martin’s Middle East chief executive. “This DMT will help enhance pilot proficiency, improve mission readiness, and create scope for further interoperability amongst the many nations that operate the F-16 in the Middle East region.”

The new trainer can be set up in a small footprint providing its own power, lightning, environmental control and training capabilities. The DMT is designed for transport by Lockheed Martin’s C-130 and can seamlessly connect to the network supporting Air Combat Training Centers at home base or while deployed.
