L-3 Link's F/A-18C Tactical Operational Flight Trainers for the Kuwait Air Force

摘要

L-3 Link Simulation & Training (L-3 Link) has announced that two F/A-18C Tactical Operational Flight Trainers (TOFTs) built for the Kuwait Air Force (KAF) have been unconditionally accepted as ready for training. The training system contract was awarded to L-3 Link by the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division in August 2010. The high-fidelity F/A-18C TOFTs replace the KAF's F/A-18 Weapons Tactics Trainers that were initially delivered by L-3 Link in 1996. The new F/A-18C TOFTs share a common architecture with the US Navy Roadmap Procurement Program F/A-18 TOFTs, which will help simplify future simulator upgrades and lower the life-cycle cost of the KAF's overall training system.
