Lockheed Martin is ramping up its Suffolk, Va.-based Center for Innovation by adding net-enabled air combat simulation capability to its net-centric laboratory, said company officials. They said the two simulators built to investigate emerging and future capabilities of the F/A-22 and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will provide “unprecedented opportunities” to test new capabilities, technology, and interoperability within the framework of the network battlespace.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
