L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that the F-16
Aircrew Training System that was built and delivered for the Royal Air
Force of Oman (RAFO) has achieved ready-for-training status. The
aircrew training system was built by L-3 Link Simulation and Training
under a contract initially awarded in 2004.
The aircrew training system is comprised of one F-16C Block 50+
Full Mission Trainer, an instructor operator station, computational
systems and a newly developed visual system database encompassing Oman
and bordering waters.
"We are very pleased to have produced and delivered an F-16
Aircrew Training System that will help ensure that the Royal Air Force
of Oman's highly skilled F-16 pilots maintain their tactical edge in
operating this multi-role fighter aircraft," said Mike Wallace, Vice
President of Air Force and Navy Programs at L-3 Link Simulation and
Training. "The F-16 Full Mission Trainer that Oman pilots are training
on has been integrated with advanced technology solutions specifically
designed to support highly realistic fast jet simulation."
The F-16 Full Mission Trainer is integrated with L-3's seven-panel
SimuSphere(TM) visual display, which provides the pilot with a
300(degree) horizontal x 130(degree) vertical field-of-view. L-3's
SimuView(TM) personal computer image generation system powers both
out-the-window and cockpit sensor display imagery viewed by the pilot.
This high fidelity trainer will be used to reinforce a full range
of pilot warfighting skills, including low-level flight, formation
exercises, air refueling, emergency procedures and takeoffs and
landings. L-3 has also delivered F-16 pilot training equipment to
Greece, Egypt, Taiwan, Poland, Denmark, South Korea, Jordan and
Turkey.
