London, United Kingdom, May 30, 2019 --(PR.com)-- It has been announced that the French Air Force have formed a joint venture with Germany to begin a study for a sixth-generation air combat system due in 2021. This study called the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) will address the need for a new, game changing technology to stay ahead of future threats by bringing new capabilities such as overhauling their pilot training system, more live-virtual-constructive training, and much more.

· Preparing future pilots for high operational tendencies as the FAF commits to multiple dynamic missions worldwide
· Creating a holistic and efficient approach to pilot training from phase 1 to advanced flight training
· New processes and methods aimed at enhancing pilot preparedness in each aviation domain
· Building strategies for pilot retention, reducing attrition

Colonel Georg von Harling, Commander of the Technical Training Centre, German Air Force will present "Developing Operational Readiness and Effectiveness of German Forces through Dynamic Technical Training":

· The Luftwaffe Technical Training Centre’s contribution to Bundeswehr air operational capacities
