Bringing Real-World Combat Friction To LVC Exercises

The US Navy is enhancing its live-virtual-construct (LVC) training exercises with real-world combat friction.

The US Navy is integrating digital twins of aircraft and systems into its live-virtual-construct (LVC) training exercises. These digital replicas are designed to simulate real-world combat scenarios, including the effects of combat friction. The goal is to provide pilots with a more realistic and immersive training experience.

The digital twins will be used to model various aircraft and systems, including F/A-18s and E-2Ds. The simulations will include realistic models of enemy aircraft, terrain, and weather conditions. This will allow pilots to practice combat tactics in a more realistic and challenging environment.

The integration of digital twins into LVC exercises is part of the Navy's broader effort to enhance its training capabilities and prepare pilots for the complexities of modern warfare.
