Lockheed Martin successfully connected 16 F-35 full mission simulators across four military bases for a two-hour distributed mission rehearsal. This exercise integrated F-18 simulators and an E-2D Hawkeye controller from a fifth location, testing the coordination of crews stationed thousands of miles apart during a simulated multidomain operation.
The significance of this event lies in its demonstration of how geographically separated units can effectively train together without relocating personnel or aircraft. By maintaining command-and-control links, the participating sites achieved all training objectives, showcasing the capability of U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy units to collaborate in a shared operational picture.
Looking ahead, the success of this exercise highlights the potential for future distributed training formats, allowing military units to rehearse complex missions across vast distances. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
