Proposal Statement

Recommendation Information
STATES IMPACTED - All ANG C-17 CONUS and OCONUS sites
JUSTIFICATION - Currently, each ANG C-17 site has a simulator functioning on site or is in the process of constructing a facility. As such, current C-17 simulator at each site meets student training needs. What is needed is state of the art training tools/capabilities for ANG C-17 aircrews and maintainers.
MISSION CRITICAL NEED - The majority of ANG C-17 sites do not have maintenance training devices. Presently, Qualification/Upgrade/Familiarization training occurs using an aircraft or a non-interactive power point type presentation. Virtual training devices, either portable or fixed location, could provide life-like, interactive aircraft familiarization, troubleshooting, and task qualification. Aircrew members would be able to practice normal and emergency checklist procedures among other tasks. Reduces aircraft downtime and more effectively uses airman available time without using more expensive full motion aircraft simulators. Combine with virtual reality visual devices to provide increased realism and 21st Century aircraft maintenance and support capabilities worldwide.
