The B-1B TS consists of an aircrew Simulator System (SS) component and Maintenance Training Equipment (MTE), which support initial, continuation, and re-qualification training of B-1B aircrews and maintainers. The SS consists of five Weapon Systems Trainers (WSTs), two Mission Trainers (MTs), and five Cockpit Procedures Trainers (CPTs). The MTE consists of nine Simulated Maintenance Training Systems (SMTSs), eight Avionics/Armament Maintenance Training Systems (A/AMTSs), and a Primary/Secondary Flight Control Maintenance Trainer (P/SFCMT). Numbered among these are development devices located at the TS contractor's headquarters. The other trainers are located at Dyess AFB, Texas; Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota; and Sheppard AFB, Texas.Concurrency with the B-1B aircraft is the highest priority to provide quality training. The projected B-1 aircraft modifications include FIDL, CITS, and VSDU, as well as, other projected improvements to the aircraft. The aircraft will continue to receive overlapping sustainment software modifications at yearly intervals, designated as SB-17, SB-18, and so forth.
