L-3 Communications' Link Simulation and Training Demonstrates Next Generation Trainer Technology at I/ITSEC

Business Wire, Nov 28, 2005

ORLANDO, Fla. -- L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) announced today at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) that its Link Simulation and Training (Link) division is demonstrating Next Generation Trainer technologies that can be used to support "train where you are, train on demand" simulation requirements.

At I/ITSEC, Link will be conducting a combined forces urban combat training demonstration that comprises fielded training systems, developmental platforms and next generation training technologies. The mission undertaken by this combined force is to safely extract a SEAL forward observer team from a potentially hostile urban setting.

"Our Next Generation Trainer technologies have been designed to take advantage of the power and pervasiveness of distributed, networked and web-enabled technologies," said Frank Delisle, vice president of Engineering and Technology for Link Simulation and Training. "Our Next Generation Trainer technologies allow individuals to take part in mission rehearsal and joint team training simulated exercises, either as a participant, role player, viewer or instructor. In addition to using web-based technologies to distribute training, Link's Next Generation Trainer technologies are integrated with physics-based gaming engines that provide high-fidelity visual simulation of physical environments, as well as replication of realistic human behaviors. These capabilities are of vital necessity for training in today's complex urban environments."

An underlying goal of Link's Next Generation Trainer is to support multiple simulation applications, from flying an aircraft to driving a tank, without having to modify software that represents the simulated world. To support this objective, Next Generation Trainer technologies have been designed to ensure common interfaces across applications.

Link Simulation and Training is a systems integration organization that delivers and supports training systems and equipment to enhance operational proficiency. Link's services include conducting front-end analysis, program design, simulator design and production and field support. Link has major operations in Arlington, TX, and other key bases of operation in Binghamton, NY; Orlando, FL; Broken Arrow, OK and Phoenix, AZ.
