FPP209 - When (and Where) 5th Gen Simulation Meets Reality | Fighter Pilot Podcast

The future of fighter pilot training is explored through a conversation with Douglas "Rosie" Rosenstock, a Marine fighter pilot, test pilot, and F-35 expert. Rosenstock emphasizes simulation as an augmentation to live flight, advocating for high-end sims to enhance training value. He recounts experiences testing the F-35, highlighting the importance of identifying and documenting deficiencies, and shares how the Joint Simulation Environment unexpectedly became a valuable training tool. The discussion covers the need for collaboration between services, the potential of augmented reality, and the integration of AI to analyze pilot performance and optimize training. Rosenstock envisions a future where simulations, enhanced by AI, provide personalized training and mission rehearsal capabilities.
