L-3 Link on a Mission for the U.S. Air Force
The Aeronautical Systems Center’s Training Systems Product Group at Wright Patterson U.S. Air Force Base has awarded L-3 Link Simulation & Training a $21 million contract option to build a third F-16 Mission Training Center (MTC) suite. This latest contract option brings the total contract value on the program to $132.8 million. Under the program, the U.S. Air Force could order as many as 20 F-16 MTCs for delivery to installations in the U.S., Europe and Pacific regions.
The L-3 Link MTC suite includes four high-definition simulators, which are integrated with its HD World simulation product line, combining high-definition databases, image-generation systems, physics-based processing technology and visual displays. The MTC simulators will accurately model all of the fighter aircraft’s weapon systems and ordnance.
