This effort involved the design and delivery of twenty-six units of the AV-8B Multi-Task Trainer (MTT), Device 15A23, along with associated documentation and support.

The AV-8B Multi-Task Trainer, Device 15A23, provides students a thorough understanding of the operation and features of the AN/APG-65 Radar and associated aircraft systems. It is an inexpensive alternative to radar training on full mission simulators or actual aircraft. Versatile and portable, it provides a convenient, highly effective means to introduce, demonstrate, and practice operational procedures; reinforce learning by repetition; increase the proficiency and confidence of the pilot; monitor, measure, and evaluate pilot performance as an aid to current and future training in both the simulator and the aircraft; and develop and evaluate tactics in a risk-free environment.

The device consists of the displayed representation of the front panels of the aircraft cockpit with the HUD and out-the-window visual display beyond. The representation of the front panels consists of simulated displays, their associated controls, and other switches and controls. The device is equipped with an Aircraft Control Stick with HOTAS controls and a simulated Throttle Lever with HOTAS controls. The inputs for radar are mainly HOTAS switches, with additional inputs provided by keyboard, touch screen, and mouse. A subset of the simulation model developed for the AV-8B+ RNAWST is used for flying qualities representation for enhanced realism. The Multi-Task Trainer is a portable desktop device, quickly and easily assembled and disassembled.

Indra has recently developed a third-generation version of the MTT device through internal research and development, providing a greatly reduced logistics footprint, smaller form factor, and improved capabilities such as built-in HLA networking capability.
