ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 21, 2026 – Lockheed Martin’s tactical environment simulation enabled a two-hour training event that simulated a realistic multidomain mission rehearsal between 16 F-35 full mission simulators from Marine Corps Air Stations Yuma, Miramar, Iwakuni and Naval Air Station Lemoore as well as F-18 simulators and an E-2D Hawkeye controller from Naval Air Station Oceana.

WHY IT MATTERS 

All Objectives Met – Geographically separated bases integrated seamlessly, maintained robust command‑and‑control, and achieved every training goal.

Rehearsing the Mission – The scenario simulated a multi‑domain fight (air, surface, cyber) using Lockheed Martin’s tactical environment simulation.

Seamless Data Flow – Teams reported uninterrupted situational awareness and robust data exchange.

STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVES

“This exercise enabled warfighters to train the way they fight. They complete complex missions in coordination across distances – their training should represent their missions,” said Ken Garrett, vice president of F-35 Training and Logistics. “Mission rehearsal across multiple bases builds the readiness, interoperability and confidence required to win tomorrow's missions.”
