Lockheed Martin has delivered and installed the first weapons load training device at the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter integrated training centre (ITC) for pilot and maintenance training at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Configured in all three variants of the F-35, the system allows maintenance students to practise loading munitions and fuel tanks onto the aircraft. The system is the first of up to five possible weapons load trainers to be delivered to the ITC, according to Lockheed Martin. Designed to be identical to the F-35 aircraft, the simulators enable training to take place without removing aircraft from the flight schedule. The system will complement classroom maintenance training.
