L-3 Link Simulation & Training To Perform The Work
L-3 Link announced Tuesday that it has been awarded a contract
from armasuisse to provide upgrades that will keep the Swiss Air
Force's F/A-18C Tactical Operational Flight Trainers and associated
training system equipment concurrent with modifications being made
to the service's F/A-18C aircraft.
The hardware and software training system upgrades will be
accomplished in two phases. During phase one, L-3 Link will
integrate the aircraft's 23X(S) operational flight program and
simulate the Swiss F/A-18C's Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking
Infrared sensor using L-3's HD World™ database generation
technology. Phase two of the program will include integrating the
trainers with the aircraft's 25X(S) operational flight program, in
addition to simulating the AN/ALR-67(V)3 digital radar warning
receiver, solid-state recorder and upgraded multi-function cockpit
displays.
"L-3 Link is very pleased to continue to be the F/A-18 training
solution provider for the Swiss Air Force and to be given the
opportunity to upgrade the trainers to maintain concurrency with
planned aircraft modifications," said Leonard Genna, president of
L-3 Link. "This effort will help maintain an effective training
balance between the high-fidelity trainers and the Swiss F/A-18
aircraft."
The Swiss F/A-18 trainers enable pilots to jointly conduct
simulated air-to-air and air-to-ground tactical maneuvers, aerial
refueling, normal and emergency procedures, and night vision goggle
operations. The trainers are also integrated with a simulated joint
helmet mounted cueing system that enables pilots to practice
control of aircraft targeting systems and sensors.
