L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today that its Link
Simulation and Training (L-3 Link) division has delivered two
F/A-18C/D Aircrew Flight Trainers (AFTs) that have achieved
ready-for-training status to U.S. Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS)
Miramar, CA.
The trainers consist of two independent cockpits for the pilot and
weapons sensor operator. The crew station for each cockpit is housed
within an L-3-built SimuSphere(TM) visual display system, allowing the
training system to support both single seat F/A-18C and integrated
dual seat F/A-18D training.
In addition, the F/A-18C/D AFTs have a distributed training
capability compliant with the Navy Aviation Simulation Master Plan
(NASMP). As a result of being NASMP-compliant, the F/A-18C/D AFTs also
are networked with two F/A-18C Tactical Operational Flight Trainers
(TOFTs) that are part of the U.S. Navy's F/A-18C Distributed Mission
Training (DMT) program that L-3 installed at MCAS Miramar in December
2006. Collectively, these F/A-18 training devices are able to support
multi-ship training and, ultimately, engage in joint and coalition
networked simulation exercises.
"The advanced training technologies integrated on these F/A-18C/D
Aircrew Flight Trainers support realistic, interoperable and full
spectrum combat training," said John McNellis, President of L-3 Link
Simulation and Training. "Our low-risk solution has taken advantage of
L-3 Link's global investment in F/A-18 training capabilities and
provides hardware and software commonality across U.S. Marine Corps,
U.S. Navy and international F/A-18 training systems."
The nine-panel SimuSphere displays surrounding each F/A-18C/D crew
station will provide a 360(degree) out-the-window field-of-view. L-3
Link's SimuView(TM) personal computer image generation system will
power both out-the-window and cockpit sensor display imagery.
These high fidelity trainers will be used to reinforce a full
range of aircrew warfighting skills, including air-to-air and
air-to-ground tactical employment, air refueling, carrier operations
and normal and emergency procedures training.
L-3 also has delivered a fully integrated mission briefing and
debriefing facility for each F/A-18C/D AFT. As the mission is flown,
the debriefing system will capture all mission event data. Following
mission execution, Hornet aircrews will have the opportunity to review
their tactical performance and capture lessons learned to maximize
training time.
