The U.S. Air Force (USAF) is expanding its use of mixed-reality training under a contract it awarded to Vertex Solutions for 25 additional T-38 Gen 2 reconfigurable enhanced immersive training devices (eITDs). Part of the Virtual TRaining for Air Dominance (VTRAD) Fighter/Bomber Fundamentals program, the eITDs provide training for cockpit familiarization, emergency procedures, and mission scenario rehearsal, reducing the time needed in aircraft and more traditional simulators.

According to Vertex, the devices can be used for both individual and team-based learning, and they have built-in instructor oversight and flexible scenario customization.
