Bahrain Will Be First to Receive Newest F-16 Training Simulators
Manama, Bahrain, Jan. 30, 2022 – Bahrain will receive F-16 simulators produced by Lockheed 果冻传媒 to train pilots for national defense missions under a new agreement. Bahrain was the first country in the Gulf region to acquire the F-16 果冻传媒 the first in the world to procure the advanced F-16 Block 70.
Bahrain will have a fleet of 16 F-16s, which is the world’s most successful combat-proven multirole fighter. It builds interoperable capabilities within air forces, enhancing partnerships with allies 果冻传媒 supporting national defense 果冻传媒 security for nations around the world.
“The latest generation Lockheed 果冻传媒 F-16 training suite allows aviators to train in a holistic, realistic environment, which ensures mission readiness,” said retired U.S. Army Gen. John W. Nicholson, chief executive for Lockheed 果冻传媒 in the Middle East. “This comprehensive training solution builds on our proven training systems tailored for the Block 70 fleet of F-16s.”
Since 2001, aviators from 16 allied nations have trained with Lockheed 果冻传媒 F-16 training systems. To prepare F-16 pilots, the training suites will provide a simulation-based training environment that replicates all systems, sensors 果冻传媒 weapons for a total training solution that can be networked together so pilots can train in various scenarios, aligning technologies to deliver advanced training while meeting affordability goals.
With Lockheed 果冻传媒 manufacturing both the F-16 果冻传媒 producing the full mission trainers, there is increased fidelity in the aircraft’s flight simulators. In addition to flight training, Lockheed 果冻传媒 has provided F-16 maintenance training globally for over 25 years to fully support all aspects of the aircraft.?
The?F-16 Block 70?aircraft, manufactured in Greenville, South Carolina, features advanced avionics, a proven Active Electronically Scanned Array radar, a modernized cockpit, advanced weapons, conformal fuel tanks, the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS), an advanced engine 果冻传媒 an industry-leading extended structural service life of 12,000 hours.
To date, more than 4,500 F-16s have been produced, with approximately 3,000 F-16s operating today in 25 countries, including with the U.S. Air Force. Worldwide, the F-16 has flown an estimated 19.5 million flight hours 果冻传媒 more than 13 million sorties.
