Advanced Training and Simulation Technology Helps Produce Mission-Ready Warfighters

Today's warfighters operate some of the most technologically advanced vehicles, aircraft, and weapons systems, and to do so effectively and safely, they require the most sophisticated simulation and training systems. L-3 Link Simulation & Training (Arlington, TX), a division of L-3 Communications, is a leader in providing advanced simulation systems and training services for both U.S. and international military services. Defense Tech Briefs recently spoke to Frank Delisle, L-3 Link's Vice President of Engineering and Technology, about current technologies used to help train the warfighter, the challenges involved in networked training and simulation, and how the gaming industry is helping to advance the state of the art in "urban environment" training.
