Orlando, FL – [December 1, 2025] – JF Taylor Inc. (JFTI) will debut a scalable family of rapidly deployable and software agnostic fighter training solutions at Booth 1900 during I/ITSEC 2025, showcasing how our reconfigurable and focused-fidelity hardware can deliver high-fidelity mission training on demand. These solutions will be demonstrated using JFTI’s unclassified InstructorHub and Rook software frameworks which combine modular cockpits and desktop simulators with open-architecture software. This strategy supports scalable testing and man-in-the loop training from classroom to forward operating environments for both domestic and foreign partner services.

“The future of training is distributed, adaptable, and mission-focused,” said Chris Wasniak, chief operating officer at JF Taylor. “Our software agnostic hardware eliminates the barriers that have traditionally limited advanced simulation and creates a foundation for a common baseline of interchangeable red or blue stations. Warfighters can operate at various levels of fidelity within the same training environment while instructors maintain total control over these scenarios and mission performance.”

The demonstration at I/ITSEC will feature:

  • Mission Utilization Tactical Trainer (MUTT), a high-fidelity compact modular cockpit supporting multiple F-35 variants
  • Reconfigurable Advanced Mission Trainer (RAMT), which rapidly transitions between aircraft layouts
  • Four deployable desktop flight trainers with focused fidelity HOTAS controls
  • VARJO XR-4 Secure Edition mixed-reality headsets in a TAA-compliant configuration
  • Aechelon Technology image generator integrated with JFTI's 5th-generation unclassified simulation framework
  • U.S. Navy Next Generation Threat System (NGTS) for shared, geo-specific mission environments

InstructorHub equips instructors with:

  • Real-time ownship scenario control including malfunctions and weather in NGTS-driven mission exercises
  • Live data capture for grading and performance review
  • Oversight capability for up to 100 simulators from one station
  • Adaptive instruction that scales mission complexity without increasing manpower

Rook, a scalable simulation framework, enables:

  • Live-Virtual-Constructive interoperability for joint and coalition networks
  • Rapid integration of aircraft systems and mission data across all device tiers
  • Software adaptability without code rewrites or hardware redesign
  • Unclassified testing and manned training stations for risk reduction and enhanced readiness

Together, these elements enable mission rehearsal and continuation training anywhere, including shipboard spaces and forward-deployed settings.

"These solutions meet the U.S. Department of War's call for open, scalable, high-fidelity systems that keep pace with evolving mission needs," Wasniak said. "What we're demonstrating at I/ITSEC is not conceptual. It's a tested and proven architecture that is ready today and built for tomorrow."

All hardware being demonstrated is already operational in multiple F-35 training applications. InstructorHub and Rook are available at I/ITSEC for customer-specific configuration discussions.
