Mass Virtual Continues Close Work with Air Force to Grow XR Training Modules Library

In partnership with Air Education and Training Command's Integrated Technology Platform, Air Combat Command, and Air Force Materiel Command, the Mass Virtual team successfully completed knowledge capture of two variants of the multirole F-16 Fighting Falcon.

Thanks to the exceptional leadership and support from the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw Air Force Base and the 169th Wing at McEntire Joint Air National Guard Base, South Carolina, the team captured critical maintenance tasks that will serve as the foundation for virtual reality training modules designed for global implementation across the entire Combat Air Force.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon, or "Viper," is a supersonic, fly-by-wire fighter designed for 9-g maneuvers and an 8,000-hour airframe lifespan. Since its debut in 1979, it has maintained air superiority in operations like Desert Storm, the Balkans, Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and Noble Eagle.

The delivery and implementation of this state of the-art training will increase readiness by equipping the Department of Defense with collaborative and immersive learning tools that will enhance warfighter capabilities through risk free, non-invasive training.
