Link's Gunner Crew Chief Station (GCCS), designed to enable warfighters to improve their helicopter gunnery crew capabilities, replicates the aircraft interior for each gunnery crew position. These positions feature replicas of aircraft seats, communication panels, aircraft weapons mounts and weapons for life-like function. Each gunnery crewmember wears a helmet-mounted display system that employs sophisticated image masking techniques, providing each soldier with the correct visual, or virtual, representation for their position in the aircraft.

Link's gunnery crew system can be used in a standalone or networked mode. It enables crews to master individual and crew coordination task training in multiship operations. In addition, the GCCS supports development of critical tactics techniques and procedures required for combat. The Link Gunner Crew Chief Station simulation solution is directly applicable to the U.S Army's Vertical Helicopter Aircrew Training System program.

The GCCS, which will be housed within standard shipping containers that enable deployment anywhere in the world, can easily be reconfigured to replicate either the UH-60 or the CH-47 aircraft.

Link simulation and training is a systems integration organization with major operations in Arlington, Texas, and in Binghamton, NY; Orlando, Fla.; Broken Arrow, Okla. and Phoenix, Ariz. With headquarters in New York City, L-3 Communications is a provider of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems.
