L-3 Communications Link Simulation and Training Delivers F/A-18C/D Aircrew Flight Trainers to U.S. Marine Corps.NEW YORK New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of -- L-3 Communications (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : LLL LLL abbr. left lower lobe (of the lung) ) 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 McCune-Albright syndrome (MCAS) A genetic syndrome characterized in girls by the development of ovarian cysts and puberty before the age of 8, together with abnormalities of bone structure and skin pigmentation. Mentioned in: Ovarian Cysts ) 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 NASMP Navy Aviation Simulation Master Plan (formerly Naval Aviation Simulation Master Plan) NASMP Naval Aviation Simulation Master Plan (now Navy Aviation Simulation Master Plan) ). 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 See DSL. ) 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 360x 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 de·brief·ing n. 1. The act or process of debriefing or of being debriefed. 2.

Following mission execution, Hornet hornet: see wasp. aircrews will have the opportunity to review their tactical performance and capture lessons learned to maximize training time. L-3's Link Simulation and Training is a systems integration organization that delivers and supports training systems and equipment to enhance operational proficiency. Its current services include conducting front-end analysis, program design, simulator design, production and field support, and aircraft logistics support.
