This VTB will be utilized to train aircrew in the utilization of NVGs for their respective airframes, allowing for aircrew that are proficient with their equipment prior to performing flying operations. This requirement is to upgrade just the section of the NVD training, and as they already have the projector and the screen from Night Readiness LLC, the requested products must be compatible with their exiting equipment. Additionally, AFMAN 11-202v1 1.3.2.5 states AETC is the lead command for all NVD academic training. The lead training center in Randolph utilizes this equipment, meaning this is what all students learn on and emphasizing the need to have this specific equipment for their refresher training requirement.
