UK's Carrier Strike Group-Supporting Training Needs on Deployment

摘要

The Ministry of Defence has the first deployed Carrier Base Simulator to support the training of UK's Lightning fleet, the deployable mission rehearsal trainer (DMRT). Each DMRT consists of two fixed base simulator cockpits and an instructor station that are compacted into a 20ft ISO container. The DMRTs enable the Lightning Force to have the full mission simulator training experience anywhere in the world, both ship-embarked or shore based. The DMRTs contain the same technology that F-35 pilots use at their home in RAF Marham, Norfolk UK in the Full Mission Simulator (FMS). The major difference the FMS uses a larger pilot visual display area due to the compact nature of the ICO container. Currently two DMRTs (four cockpits) are being used on HMS Queen Elizabeth to support the Carrier Strike Group deployment. The DMRTs are being run by BAE Systems Instructor Pilots, keeping the embarked F-35 pilots current with their training. The DMRTs are also maintained regularly whilst deployed by BAE Systems Simulation Technicians, ensuring the complex systems are working effectively every day. The DMRTs are a key deployment capability for the UK's Lightning Force, enabling real-time training whilst on operations or exercises anywhere in the world. The big advantage of these deployable simulators is that pilots can keep up with monthly emergency procedure, practice four ship missions and mission rehearsal training.
