*sigh* Got a reference for this, or is this just speculation on your part?
The ADF had all these grand theoretical plans of linking Wedgetail, HACTS, MRTT, ARH, & Aegis sims with Vigilare to conduct exercises, but is yet to do so. We've found that coordinating the sim availability is VERY difficult, and even if that can be done, the operational/actual training applications and opportunities are VERY limited!
