Previously, joint mission training on this scale has been significantly limited as practicing wartime scenarios holds risk, flight operations can be expensive, and open-air rehearsal puts Navy tactics on display for adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNaval aviators train extensively working up to deployment, but those skills begin to atrophy the day they pull out of port,\u201d said NAWCAD Joint Simulation Environment Director Blaine Summers, whose team delivered the Simulators at Sea capability. \u201cThis was a capability gap we had to plug with a fully integrated carrier air wing solution\u2014one we\u2019re ready to scale across the Navy\u2019s fleet of carriers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CVW-9 aviators have trained in its new simulators daily since its July 2024 deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Simulators at Sea came together for Abraham Lincoln in less than 12 months following lessons learned from NAWCAD\u2019s 2023 deployment of F-35 simulators onboard USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70). The Simulators at Sea effort was more complex, requiring significant integration efforts that stretched across the Naval Aviation Enterprise\u2019s Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division, NAWCAD\u2019s Webster Outlying Field, and the Naval Aviation Training Systems and Ranges Program, as well as industry partners Boeing, Collins Aerospace, and General Dynamics Information Technology.<\/p>\n<p>The warfare center plans to expand Simulators at Sea to other carriers in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division employs more than 17,000 military, civilian and contract personnel. It operates test ranges, laboratories, and aircraft in support of test, evaluation, research, development and sustainment of everything flown by the Navy and Marine Corps.
