This new system builds a platform for multi-level and real-time air combat simulation for pilots to be familiar with modern air war in context of information age. Besides, this system will help Chinese Air Force to dig new theory and doctrines for its strategic power transformation.

Huang Anxiang, the engineer of PLA Air Force Command College Training Center, introduces that the simulation system can be easily converted into the corresponding fighters or attackers, such as J-10, J-11, Q-5 and JH-7. The Pilots can be turned from rookie to be “ACE” in the shortest time to fully play the greatest effectiveness of combat aircraft and other weapons.
