Mahindra Defence Systems, along with Lockheed Martin, on Wednesday opened a simulator training centre for the C-130J Super Hercules at the Hindon Air Force station near here.
The facility will train the air crew who operate the C-130J special operations aircraft which is currently with the Indian Air Force.
The centre is equipped with a full motion simulator, an official statement said, and offers complete training solution for the aircrew of the C-130J.
It will deliver qualitative and quantitative training to hone the tactical and operational skills of the C-130J pilots, combat system operators and loadmasters to conduct special operations across national and international boundaries.
"Towards this end, the state-of-the-art full motion simulator offers realistic and holistic learning environment through day and night training scenarios," the statement said.
"The commencement of formal training on the C-130J Weapons Systems Trainer demonstrates our commitment to meet the defence needs of the Indian Government," said Phil Shaw, chief executive, Lockheed Martin India.
