Five Sims Located In Florida, Washington, And Hawaii
The U.S. Navy has unconditionally accepted five P-3C Orion
Tactical Operational Readiness Trainers (TORTs) manufactured by L-3
Link Simulation & Training (L-3 Link). In a news release
Thursday, the company said these training devices enable Orion
aircrews to practice acquiring information from the platform's
sensor systems and using the data and communications with other
platforms to execute intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance;
anti-submarine warfare; and anti-surface warfare missions.
"Advanced P-3C Tactical Operational Readiness Trainers are
enabling Orion aircrews to achieve certified crew readiness
training," said Lenny Genna, president of L-3 Link. "The ability to
conduct this training on simulation-based devices is lowering
training costs to the U.S. Navy by reducing the need to conduct
anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare crew qualification
flights on the P-3C Orion platform."
The P-3C TORT is designed to match the aircraft's physical
arrangement, which includes tactical coordinator,
navigation/communications, non-acoustic sensor and acoustic sensor
crew stations. Pilot and co-pilot flight stations are also
integrated as part of the P-3C TORT's design.
L-3 Link has completed upgrades to the P-3C TORTs that include
providing a higher fidelity environment for the pilot and co-pilot
stations and enabling the devices to participate in fleet synthetic
training exercises over a long-haul network. In addition, L-3 Link
has added simulation of an Improved Extended Echo Ranging system
that is designed to support large-area deep and shallow water
search capabilities.
P-3C TORTs are training Orion aircrews based at U.S. Naval Air
Station (NAS) Jacksonville, FL, NAS Whidbey Island, WA; and U.S.
Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay.
