L-3 Link and University of North Dakota to Establish UAS Training Centre

摘要

L-3 Link Simulation & Training has signed agreements with the University of North Dakota to jointly establish an UAS training centre at Grand Forks Air Force Base, ND/USA, which is expected to begin operations in June 2011, and will offer MQ-1 PREDATOR and MQ-9 REAPER UAS training opportunities to UND students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautics with a major in UAS operations. The training centre is also expected to provide UAS training to US government agencies to develop highly capable pilots and sensor operators. In addition to supplying the training centre's high-fidelity simulator and logistics support, L-3 Link will provide sensor operator course development and training.
