ACME has unsurpassed experience with Air Refueling Operator Trainers.  There are only four Air Refueling Operator Trainers in service with the U.S. Air Force and all four run ACME’s advanced systems.  ACME upgraded the two KC-135 Boom Operator Part Task Trainers (BOPTT) and the two KC-10 Boom Operator Trainers (BOT).  In addition, we’ve already made the jump to the next generation technology by developing a trainer for the remote air-refueling operator that reflects the 767 Tanker, Japan Configuration, and will be a part of the new AF KC-X program.  

• Our KC-767 Boom Operator Trainer for the Japan Air Self Defense Forces incorporates ACME’s cutting edge capabilities for Air Refueling Trainers including:

• Advanced receiver models with articulated control surfaces, dynamic crews, photo-texturing, and user-impacts such as antennas that can be knocked off, surface and glass damages.
• Instructor Operator Stations (IOS) providing exceptional situational and trainee awareness and precision trainer control.  The new ACME IOS includes full controls for individual receiver or formations of receivers, turbulence, time of day, weather, clouds, malfunctions, and scenario building and execution.  The system also features full digital recording to support trainee feedback and scoring.
• Remote camera refueling systems with the full range of camera and environmental effects.  The system also includes the advanced helmet mounted displays that provide the Air Refueling Operator three-dimensional. imagery to maximize depth and position awareness.
• High-Fidelity Air Refueling Operator station including actual aircraft seats, controls, instruments, and oxygen masks to maximize realism and support aircraft specific training tasks.
