A central theme in modern naval warfare is the ability to conduct joint operations which combine the tactical aviation elements of two or more carrier task forces. Unfortunately, due to operational constraints and the complex nature of such operations, carrier airwings are seldom afforded the opportunity to conduct training activities which emphasize joint operations. This paper will highlight how the use of distributed simulator networking technology can be directly applied to the conduct of carrier airwing training. It will also show how simulation networks for carrier airwing training can provide the capability to conduct joint operations training involving two or more carrier airwings in a simulated real-world tactical environment. The implementation of such a network will serve to multiply the effectiveness of shore-based pre-deployment airwing training and will provide a heretofore unavailable capability to conduct simulated joint airwing tactical operations in a battle group environment.
