MVRsimulation’s Fixed-wing Part Task Mission Trainers Delivered to NATO TLP

Our Bureau - : Sep 22, 2021 - : 10:59 am

The NATO Tactical Leadership Programme (TLP) based at Los Llanos Air Base, Albacete, Spain, has purchased 30 new fixed-wing Part Task Mission Trainer (PTMT) cockpit shells, for fighter pilot simulation training, from MVRsimulation, formerly MetaVR.

The acquisition includes 54 Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG) licenses with location-specific geospecific terrain.

MVRsimulation designed and built the PTMT under an internal program, to provide a low-cost, quick-deploy cockpit training solution to fill the gap in current in-use mission tactics training systems for military fixed-wing pilots. The system will maximize suspension of disbelief for trainee pilots as they practice mission tactics and coordination in joint, networked environments. It can also operate as a standalone training solution.

The PTMT comprises an all-welded aluminum structure fabricated in the U.S., fully integrated cockpit shell, touch screen displays for pilot interaction, and an out the window (OTW) view on adjustable curved display, mixed-reality headset or partial dome. Complete with notional aircraft hardware represented by touchscreens for conducting air-to-air or air-to-ground training scenarios, the PTMT can be configured for training for current 3rd and 4th generation combat aircraft currently used by NATO nations.

“We worked closely with the customer to fine-tune this system to meet the TLP’s needs, including developing a brand-new patent-pending flight control stick that allows them to deliver realistic training for their customers who use a range of 3rd and 4th generation jets,” said Garth Smith, President, MVRsimulation. “Seeing the PTMTs delivered and installed at Los Llanos Air Base is extremely gratifying and we look forward to the simulators entering service and supporting training for NATO air force fast jet pilots.”
