vIITSEC 2020: T-7A GBTS is in production

The Ground Based Training System for the T-7A can be networked with the actual aircraft, so that pilots in a simulator and real-world cockpit can conduct joint training

A Boeing-led team is now assembling the first two T-7A Red Hawk weapons systems trainers (WST) and an operational flight trainer (OFT) at its St Louis site. These devices form part of the Ground Based Training System (GBTS) for the T-7A, which is the new trainer aircraft for the USAF.

Suppliers of major sub-systems for the WST and OFT devices include Diamond Visionics for the image generators, JVC for the projectors, ACME for the simulated ejection seats and Wittenstein for the control loading devices.

JVC’s 8K native projectors are linked with Boeing’s Constant Resolution Visual System (CRVS) display system.
