The F-35 Training System prepares pilots and maintainers from nations across the globe to fly, fight and sustain the most advanced fighter jet available today. This system combines state-of-the-art technology, robust curriculums and mission readiness criteria to create a total training solution for the F-35 Lightning II program.
Classroom Instruction
Starting in the classroom sets the foundation for what students need to know to complete their training.
Online Training
The Aircraft Systems Maintenance Trainer, a digital replica, allows students to perform tasks and familiarize themselves with aircraft systems, preparing them for hands-on training.
Hands-On Training Devices
The Academic Training Center offers over 10 hands-on labs, with devices like Weapons Load Trainer, Ejection Seat Maintenance Trainer, and Integrated Power Pack Maintenance Trainer, all scaled for comprehensive aircraft maintenance training.
Lockheed Martin continues to invest in solutions to drive down cost and sustainment requirements to administer F-35 training. This includes reducing physical footprint needed to conduct training, lowering operational and sustainment costs, and introducing technology like AI to increase efficiencies across the training system.
The AMAZE, or Amorphic Appearance Zero-Projector Environment, visual display system began as a Lockheed Martin Internal Research and Design project and debuted in 2023. AMAZE utilizes Commercial Off-the Shelf technology like LED panels to drive down the acquisition cost for the full mission simulator and reduces the sustainment cost 35% over the lifecycle of the device.
The Modified Mission Rehearsal Trainer started as a Lockheed Martin Internal Research and Design project and debuted in 2021. MMRT reduces the overall footprint needed and increases the capacity for pilot to conduct high-fidelity training.
