Kuwait Air Force (KAF) will receive two F/A-18C Tactical Operational Flight Trainers (TOFTs) and associated training equipment from L-3 Communications Link Simulation & Training division.
Under the $24.1m contract, L-3 will also provide two instructor operator stations, a brief/debrief system, associated computational systems, a night-vision training system and a theatre-specific visual system database.
The networked simulators will allow KAF pilots to jointly conduct simulated air-to-air and air-to-ground tactics, normal and emergency procedures as well as night-vision goggle operations.
Both the simulators are integrated with L-3 Link’s SimuSphere 360° field-of-view visual display.
The training system is being sold to the KAF through the US Foreign Military Sales programme.
