At the Future Air Force 2025 conference, one of the main pillars of our presentation was the modernization of the training ecosystem – particularly the transition to the L-39 Skyfox and the integration of LVC systems (Live, Virtual, Constructive). These combine real flights, simulations, and virtual elements into a single training environment, creating conditions that are both more efficient and more realistic than ever before.
During the event, we strengthened our ties with experts, institutions, and companies from the Czech Republic and abroad. The discussions consistently highlighted how new technologies – artificial intelligence, data analytics, and advanced simulations – can boost training effectiveness, reduce costs, and prepare pilots for the realities of modern military challenges.
We were also honored to receive authorization to provide military pilot training within the NATO Flight Training Europe program, making LOM PRAHA one of only a few campuses in Europe capable of delivering world-class pilot training that meets the strictest standards.
For us, this is not just recognition but also a commitment. LOM PRAHA is determined to continue investing in education, operational sustainability, NATO interoperability, and the constant innovation of our training environment. By doing so, we aim to contribute to stronger, safer, and better-prepared air forces – both in the Czech Republic and across allied nations.
