Aircraft Weapon System Trainer

Aircraft Weapon System Trainers (AWST) are training devices that simulate the operation and functionality of various weapon systems found on aircraft. They are classified under the supply class Operation Training Devices, which refers to devices used specifically for training purposes related to aircraft operations.

AWSTs are designed to provide realistic training scenarios for pilots, weapon systems officers, and other personnel involved in operating and maintaining aircraft weapon systems. These trainers typically include simulated controls, displays, and interfaces that replicate the actual equipment found on aircraft.

The purpose of AWSTs is to enhance the training experience by allowing users to practice and familiarize themselves with the operation, procedures, and tactics associated with specific aircraft weapon systems. They can simulate various scenarios, such as weapon deployment, target acquisition, and engagement, in a controlled and safe environment.

AWSTs are part of the supply group Training Aids And Devices, which encompasses a wide range of training tools and equipment used to support the learning and development of military personnel. This group includes devices such as simulators, mock-ups, models, and other aids that facilitate training in various military disciplines.

In summary, Aircraft Weapon System Trainers are training devices that simulate the operation of aircraft weapon systems. They fall under the supply class Operation Training Devices and are part of the supply group Training Aids And Devices.
