\"\"Boeing [NYSE: BA] connected the F-22 Mission Training Center (MTC) at Langley Air Force Base, Va., to the U.S. Air Force’s Distributed Mission Operations Network (DMON) in November, allowing F-22 pilots at the base to train virtually with pilots in other aircraft platforms for the first time.<\/p>\n

The MTC at Langley is the first of four F-22 training centers that Boeing will link to the network over the next three years.<\/p>\n

The Air Force’s Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) configuration enables MTC sites to connect with one another via the DMON, increasing the scale and improving the accuracy of training operations. <\/span><\/p>\n

Connecting the four-seat F-22 MTC flight trainer to the DMON also provides F-22 pilots with more realistic training with other Air Force assets on the network, such as the F-15C MTC.<\/p>\n

“Boeing’s F-22 MTC was the first trainer in the industry to achieve ‘first-pass success’ on its initial DMON testing,” said Mark McGraw, Boeing vice president of Training Systems and Services.<\/p>\n

This MTC was also the first to use the Agile Software Development process, which is based on industry and Boeing best practices for efficient software development.<\/p>\n

This process allowed the functionality of the trainer’s components to be assessed much faster than with traditional software development methods.<\/p>\n

Boeing is on contract to deliver three new F-22 MTCs for Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska; Holloman Air Force Base, N.M.; and Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii.<\/p>\n
