P-3C Tactical Operational Readiness Trainers Built by L-3 Link Simulation & Training Unconditionally Accepted by U.S. Navy

ARLINGTON, Texas, January 6, 2011 – L-3 Link Simulation & Training (L-3 Link) announced today that the U.S. Navy has unconditionally accepted five P-3C Orion Tactical Operational Readiness Trainers (TORTs). 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, Fla., NAS Whidbey Island, Wash.; and U.S. Marine Corps Base Hawaii Kaneohe Bay.
