Live Virtual Constructive - Naval Aviation Training
(Image created by USA Patriotism!)
Naval aviation flight training
is performed using a combination of procedure trainers,
flight simulators and live aircraft. While flight simulators
and procedure trainers have become very capable and
flexible, there are still many skills that Naval aviators
need to acquire in live training and fleet aircraft.
However, live flight training is very costly and
logistically difficult. Designers of virtual environments
such as flight simulators are faced with difficult
cost-benefit trade-offs that may affect simulator fidelity,
training effectiveness, or transfer of training.
Learn how the Live Virtual Constructive
(LVC) environment saves time, money and increases mission readiness across the
U.S. Navy fleet ... by virtually training and helping U.S.
Navy aviators conduct missions anytime, anywhere, with
anyone around the world.
