Training division (L-3 Link) has been awarded a $22.8 million contract to

and maintenance training devices, in addition to maintaining system software,
hardware and courseware. While providing classroom and academic instruction, L-3
Link also will be responsible for follow-on concurrency between the B-2 Training
System and B-2 platform through 2017.

community," said Bob Birmingham, president of L-3 Link. "As a leader in military
training and simulation, our highly experienced B-2 team is uniquely positioned
