Textron Unit Operates Current Sustainment Program
L-3 Link Simulation & Training (L-3 Link) announced recently
the formation of a team with AAI Corporation, an operating unit of
Textron Systems, to pursue the US Air Force's C-17 Training System
Sustainment Program. This multi-year program will be the Air
Force's largest airlift transport training system.
"Our team offers the unique ability to provide a low-risk
transition of two separate C-17 aircrew and maintenance training
contracts into a single integrated contract," said Bob Birmingham,
president of Link Simulation and Training. "The relevant and recent
experience L-3 Link and AAI bring to this program will greatly
contribute to reducing overall contract costs and government
management oversight, in addition to ensuring that synergies are
maximized between all areas of C-17 training operations."
L-3 Link is heading the team's pursuit of the C-17 Training
System Sustainment program, touting its decades of experience in
program management and military training operations to proactively
identify improvement opportunities and innovative training
solutions across the integrated program.
AAI operates the current C-17 Maintenance Training System (MTS).
The company says it has continually demonstrated its ability to
meet program objectives on schedule and under budget. AAI's
simulation-based training devices enable aircraft technicians to
gain hands-on maintenance experience, exactly as they would on
in-service aircraft.
