ORLANDO, FL, December 1, 2003 - L-3 Communications (NYSE:LLL) today announced that its Link Simulation and Training division, working with the Boeing Company, has completed installation of two F/A-22 full mission trainers and four weapon tactics trainers to support Raptor pilot training at Tyndall Air Force Base, FL, home to the first F/A-22 pilot training facility.

Delivery of the pilot training devices, along with the recent arrival of the first F/A-22 aircraft at Tyndall, means the base is ready to begin training members of the 43rd Fighter Squadron. Tyndall's F/A-22 maintenance training facility, which officially opened in October 2002, also houses a recently delivered Link-built seat and canopy trainer to instruct Raptor maintenance personnel that are part of the 372nd Training Squadron.

"The delivery of F/A-22 pilot training devices represents an important milestone and provides the U.S. Air Force with the capability today to train F/A-22 pilots in advance of the first operational squadrons being fielded," said Gary Nesta, vice president of devices programs for Link Simulation and Training. "These initial F/A-22 pilot training devices are technologically advanced and are a product of what is an extremely successful teaming arrangement between Link, the Boeing Company and the U.S. Air Force."

On both the F/A-22 pilot and maintenance training programs Link is serving as a major subcontractor to Boeing, which has lead responsibility for the Raptor's training system.

F/A-22 full mission trainers will be used to reinforce pilot warfighting skills, including flying and fighting against the most advanced integrated radar networks and dense surface-to-air missile environments. These high fidelity simulators also will support training tasks including formation flight, air refueling, takeoff and landing, emergency procedures and weapons delivery during air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. The F/A-22 full mission trainers are integrated with Link's SimuSphereä visual display, which provides pilots with a 360° out-the-window field-of-view.

F/A-22 weapon tactics trainers provide extensive procedural training that allows pilots to hone their aircraft systems operational skills. The weapon tactics trainers provide pilots with controls and displays representing the F/A-22 air vehicle's heads up and heads down displays, as well as stick and throttles. In addition to enabling pilots to practice individual and team weapon systems employment, the weapon tactics trainer is used as an instructional system or mission generation system.

The two full mission trainers at Tyndall are networked, allowing the Air Force to conduct team training exercises within a highly realistic, simulated environment.
