TEL: (514) 787-4999
Contact: Michael H.
Chatlani (Vice President, Marketing & Sales - Power Systems and
Simulation)
Description: L-3 MAPPS simulators mirror reality for superior
real-world power plant training. L-3 MAPPS offers full scope simulators,
part-task trainers, simulator retrofits and upgrades. We provide conception
to completion turnkey systems, specific components, or simulator design
tools as required by the customer. With worldwide presence, a solid
leadership position and the ability to provide any level of customer
support, L-3 MAPPS ensures the success of your simulator projects. L-3
MAPPS (both as L-3 MAPPS and predecessor CAE) has been developing power
plant simulators for over three decades. These simulators accurately
reproduce the physical and environmental properties of the plant control
room. They function operationally in precisely the same manner as the actual
plant they simulate. Our simulators are the highest level of training device
there is. They provide trainees and instructors with user-friendly tools for
learning, controlling and exploring complex power plant systems. The
superior training environments of our simulators provide clear advantages
for operator licensing, optimizing plant operating procedures and reducing
costs. Operators trained in L-3 MAPPS simulator environments gain the skills
necessary to increase plant performance, minimize downtime, and provide
confident emergency response. Simulator uses include interactive team
training, severe incident management, and plant design testing and
startup/shutdown optimization. For over 30 years we have worked with our
customers to create superior training systems and have established ourselves
as the world's pre-eminent manufacturer of power plant simulators. L-3 MAPPS
is a company of people with ideas and vision, with a desire to create value
through innovation, and with the experience to realize success.
