Researchers said that simulators for B-1 Lancer, B-2 Spirit and B-52 Stratofortress bombers lack "fidelity" - a term used to indicate that they are not a true reflection of what the craft or environment is like. "The relative scarcity of opportunities to train against such threats and the lack of tools to capture performance data mean that commanders must make subjective, incomplete assessments of the capability of their units in the most important operational scenarios," the Rand report states. The Air Force is worried that it is not properly analyzing how crews are performing when it must rely on more traditional sorties and aging simulators. The focus on investing in high-tech simulators comes as tensions grow with China and the Pentagon works to compete with the People's Liberation Army.
