Link Simulation & Training is providing research, engineering research and sustainment support to the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory's Warfighter Training Research Division.

The vision of the Warfighter Training Research Division is "to provide the world's best training, ensuring warfighters have the skills to win." In doing so, it's the mission of the Warfighter Training Research Division to develop, demonstrate, evaluate and transition training technologies and methods to warfighters.

To accomplish its mission, the division collaborates with U.S. Air Force major commands, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and industry experts to develop and directly transition technologies and improved training methods to the warfighter.

With locations in Mesa, Arizona and Brooks Air Force Base, Texas, the division is part of the Air Force Research Laboratory's Human Effectiveness Directorate and is the premiere Air Force organization for warfighter research and development.

The Warfighter Training Research Division is supporting the Air Force's Distributed Mission Training (DMT) concept, which consists of live assets, manned simulators and computer generated forces networked together and training in a synthetic environment. Warfighter training devices can be networked, both locally and long-distance, to other air, ground, sea and space forces for a specific training scenario that can be managed by respective Command and Control battle staffs. Effective planning and execution of training missions is made possible by using enhanced pilot briefings and data collection. Post-mission replay and analysis provides effective combat assessment.
