By: PRLog

Florida-based technology company, The DiSTI Corporation, has been selected to upgrade the F-18 Simulated Aircraft Maintenance Trainer for U.S. Navy.

ORLANDO, Fla. - March 7, 2023 - PRLog -- The DiSTI Corporation, the global leader in virtual maintenance training, has been awarded a contract supporting the upgrade to the United States Navy F-18 Simulated Aircraft Maintenance Trainer (SAMT) program by J.F. Taylor.

The improvements to the trainer will consist of upgrading the SAMT to include obsolete computer system hardware and the computer operating system (OS) in four identical SAMTs at NAS Oceana, Virginia.

"Modifying the SAMT to meet current Fleet configuration will greatly improve warfighter readiness," said Tom Neary, DiSTI's Director of Programs. "This program provides sailors with a realistic, full-spectrum maintenance trainer for electrical/flight control, avionics, armament, and fuel-related task areas."

The SAMT device 11H171 is used to provide the capability to simulate through visual representation all external cockpit system functionality related to maintenance, operation, servicing, troubleshooting, and repair of the FA-18C aircraft configuration and associated engineering changes. This program includes the means for demonstration and instruction through either instructor-led or trainee self-paced interaction with simulation software and cockpit hardware.

"J.F. Taylor is excited to have DiSTI as part of the SAMT Obsolescence and Operating System upgrade program," stated J.F. Taylor program manager Dave Hesse. "Their experience and knowledge with the SAMT systems and virtual trainers, in general, is second to none. J.F. Taylor is glad to have DiSTI as our partner in this important Fleet program."
