US military aircraft are continuously being updated with the latest advances in modern weaponry and electronic warfare (EW) systems are no exception to this trend. While enhancing ownship threat avoidance and detection capabilities, these advances in weaponry place significant demands upon service men and women to adequately train with these new systems to maximize their battlefield effectiveness. On-going efforts are underway to enhance EW training on several US Air Force aircraft. These enhancements provide closed-loop simulations of air-defense environments creating realistic in-flight combat training for the aircrew. This training capability is an integral part of the aircraft integrated processor operational flight program (OFP), which allows for 'on-demand' training facilitating an in-route mission rehearsal. This capability also removes the requirement to schedule expensive time on training ranges or can be used in conjunction with traditional range training to supplement the training environment.

This paper will present an overview of an EW Embedded Training System including: the embedded training architecture, an instructor toolset for configuring training scenarios consisting of threat laydowns and air defense behaviors, and a training mission playback capability to support instructor scoring. Additionally, this paper will summarize results from these ongoing efforts.
