The $55 Million Project Will Include Instruction And
Maintenance Services
Elbit Systems Ltd. said Wednesday
that it has been awarded a contract from the Israeli Ministry of
Defence for the establishment of a mission training center for the
Israeli Air Force's (IAF) pilots of F-16C/D and F-16I fighter
aircraft.
The center will be operated through a PFI (Private Financing
Initiative) concept, and will include, among others, a development
phase as well as instruction and maintenance services for a
duration of 15 years. The project is valued at approximately $55
million, subject to necessary approvals during the project.
The new mission training center marks a
significant breakthrough in the operational training sector. The
system enables training in various mission scenarios in varying war
zones and in the relevant threat environment of each war zone, a
new training capability which has not yet been available to the
IAF.
The core of the training center is
the "Mission Training" system, a unique system that enables
coordinated training between the various trainees, both within the
IAF and at an interoperable level. The IAF teams will be able to
train in formations of pairs, foursomes and octads, with full
supervision of flight inspectors, who will take a central part in
the training sessions. The system will enable integration with
other training systems operated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF),
such as trainers for helicopter pilots, UAV operators and ground
forces. In addition, the new system will enable coordinated
training in mission scenarios, notwithstanding the geographical
distance between the different trainers.
