The Enhanced Aircrew Cockpit Procedure Trainer 3 (E-ACPT3) is the first of two of the type built by the Finmeccanica unit for delivery to the Air Force’s Eurofighter bases at Grosseto and Gioia del Colle. The first simulator will be operational by year’s end at Grosseto, Alenia said. Alenia has already built an ACPT1 prototype and ACPT2 procedure trainer for the Air Force, with the latter delivered to Grosseto in October 2006. During a presentation at Alenia’s Turin facility, an E-ACPT3 was linked to two other simulators, allowing pilots to stage a mock mission over Tuscany with two Eurofighters and a C-27J aircraft. During the 30-minute simulation, intruder aircraft “downed” an Alenia-built Sky-X UAV patrolling during a dignitary visit to Pisa. One Eurofighter intercepted and downed the two enemy aircraft while a second Eurofighter escorted the dignitary, flying in a C-27J, from Pisa to Grosseto air base.[/quote] http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?F=3232862&C=europe[/quote]
