Army aviation collective training depends on crews and units operating effectively as one. This article explores research from the U.S. Army Research Institute on key training challenges, simulation capability and utilisation gaps, fidelity requirements, and how better use of simulation can strengthen readiness across complex aviation missions.

Is Extended Reality the future of flight training? While Level D Full Flight Simulators remain the gold standard for certification, a new generation of VR and Mixed Reality (MR) devices is transforming how pilots build muscle memory and manage high-risk scenarios. Explore the technical breakthroughs in haptics, motion, and AI-driven biometrics that are making XR an indispensable, cost-effective tool for modern aviation.
