L-3 Communications (NYSE:LLL) announced today that its Link
Simulation & Training (L-3 Link) business has been awarded a
position to compete under the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Training
Systems Acquisition (TSA) III contract. L-3 is one of 12 large
company contractors to compete for future TSA III task orders over
the next 10 years, which, collectively, could have a potential
value of $20.9 billion.
Under TSA III task orders, L-3 Link would provide analysis,
design, development, production, installation, integration, test
and sustainment support for USAF training configurations
encompassing complex aircrew, maintenance and system-specific
training systems. These task orders will support training on
fighter, bomber, cargo, air tanker, unmanned aerial, and special
operations fixed- and rotary-wing platforms. Training will focus on
aircraft operations, weapons, navigation, and command and control
for both individual and aircrew events, ranging from single
aircraft to large-scale, composite force mission rehearsal
training. A primary goal under TSA III task orders will be to
significantly reduce acquisition lead times on active Air Force,
Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard and Foreign Military Sales
training and sustainment programs.
“Under the service’s current TSA II contract, we have had the
privilege of providing the U.S. Air Force with advanced training
solutions on various programs, including F-16 Aircrew Training
Devices, the Predator Mission Aircrew Training System and the T-1A
Ground-Based Training System,” said Lenny Genna, president of L-3
Link. “We made substantial investments in new technologies and
methods of training, fielding these advancements on TSA II programs
that have resulted in enhanced training capabilities for the
service. Our commitment is stronger than ever to continue to make
strategic investments in next-generation solutions that will enable
the USAF to procure, in a streamlined process, low-risk,
technically advanced solutions that deliver immediate benefits to
pilots, aircrews and maintenance professionals.”
