Link Simulation and Training's integrated development facility in Orlando, Florida is located adjacent to the U.S. Army's Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command and the U.S. Navy's Naval Air Systems Command Training Systems Division in the Research Park complex.

The site is home to the Army's Fire Support Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (FSCATT) program. This program has concluded its fourth production phase. During the fourth production phase, Link delivered 10 M109A6 howitzer crew trainers, collective training control subsystems and instructor/operator stations. In support of the first three phases of the program, Link produced and delivered 34 M109A5 training systems and one M109A6 training system.

FSCATT is designed to hone the skills of field artillery gunnery teams, officers in the Fire Direction Center and forward observers to enable them to work in concert and successfully execute indirect fire mission operations.

Link's Orlando facility also is providing engineering support for the U.S. Army Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer - Aviation Reconfigurable Manned Simulator program.
