Four Panavia Tornado GR4 cockpit simulators will be installed at RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire for the exercise, along with four Lockheed Martin F-16 training devices at an Air Force Research Laboratory site in Mesa, Arizona. Part of the UK's Mission Training through Distributed Simulation effort, the exercise will to be managed by a Boeing and Qinetiq-led team.
