The Advanced Distributed Combat Training System provides CF-18 pilots with training on the updated aircraft and weapons systems, while reducing airframe-fatigue and overall operating costs for the CF-18 fleet. This system offers training previously available primarily through actual combat, thereby increasing the pilots’ operational readiness in a much safer environment.

Dans le cadre du projet du Système avancé d’entraînement à distance pour le combat, les pilotes de CF-18 reçoivent une formation sur la nouvelle version de l’appareil et de ses systèmes d’armes. Le système permet aussi de réduire l’usure de la cellule des appareils et les coûts opérationnels de la flotte de CF-18. Ce système permet aux pilotes d’effectuer des opérations qui, auparavant, ne pouvaient s’apprendre qu’en situation de combat réel, ce qui permet d’améliorer l’état de préparation opérationnelle des pilotes dans un environnement beaucoup plus sécuritaire.
