Nearly $6 Million To Lockheed Martin For Training In Seven
Locations
The U.S. Air Force has awarded a $5.8 million one-year contract
from FlightSafety Services Corporation to manage C-5 aircrew
training at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, and provide logistical
support for six other training locations to Lockheed Martin. The
contract includes four one-year options that, if exercised, would
total $30 million.
The C-5 Aircrew Training System (ATS) program provides total
training support for all C-5 pilots, flight engineers, loadmasters
and maintenance engine run personnel. In addition to managing the
C-5 Training Systems Support Center and formal training unit at
Lackland Air Force Base, Lockheed Martin will provide logistical
training support at Dover Air Force Base, DE; Travis Air Force
Base, CA; Martinsburg Air National Guard Base, WV; Memphis Air
National Guard Base, TN; Stewart Air National Guard Base, NY; and
Westover Air Reserve Base, MA.
"Lockheed Martin is proud to provide a robust training program
to prepare C-5 aircrews for their critical humanitarian and
operational missions," said Jim Weitzel, vice president of training
and engineering services in Lockheed Martin's Global Training and
Logistics business. "Training is personalized to ensure each
student has the skills needed to engage in missions more quickly
and affordably."
The scope of work includes managing hardware, software and
courseware, maintaining simulator certifications to Air Force
specifications and overseeing the operations of the training
management system.
