L-3 Link Simulation & Training, which
traces its legacy back to Ed Link’s invention of the
Pilot Maker in 1929, today remains a leading systems
integrator that supplies advanced simulation
systems, training services and aircraft contractor
logistics support for both U.S. and international
military services.
This leadership position was recognized during 2008
when Frost & Sullivan - a global consulting and
market research organization - selected L-3 Link for
its North American Technology Innovation Award
within Military Flight Simulation. Also during 2008,
L-3 Link was chosen by the National Training &
Simulation Association for its Modeling & Simulation
Award for Training.
Today the company’s programs address aircrew
training delivery and management, simulator
production and modification, simulation and training
research and aircraft maintenance logistics support.
L-3 Link also is a leader in development of image
generation, visual display, reconfigurable simulator
and networked training technologies.
Major fixed wing platforms L-3 Link is supporting
today through new simulator builds, trainer
modifications or training support services include
the F-22 Raptor, B-2 Spirit, F/A-18 Hornet/Super
Hornet, F-16 Fighting Falcon, E-3 AWACS, P-3C Orion
and C-27J Spartan.
Within military rotary wing simulation, L-3 Link is
delivering the U.S. Army’s cornerstone program for
team tactical training - the Aviation Combined Arms
Tactical Trainer (AVCATT) program. AVCATT is
providing the Army with a collective, networked
training system that is allowing commanders to mix
and match aircraft at their control while enabling
pilots to work together as a team in achieving a set
mission objective. In addition, L-3 Link is
developing, operating and maintaining all of the
service’s Flight School XXI Advanced Aircraft
Virtual Simulators and Reconfigurable Training
Devices.
L-3 Link’s ongoing investment in internal research
and development will continue to ensure that it
develops discriminating products - from visual
system displays to image generation systems - that
provide customers with advanced and affordable
simulation and training solutions.
L-3 Link is a division of L-3 Communications, a
prime contractor in aircraft modernization and
maintenance, C3ISR (Command, Control,
Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance) systems and government services. L-3
is also a leading provider of high technology
products, subsystems and systems. The company
reported 2007 sales of $14 billion. |
