Simulators have become key to maintaining proficiency with aircraft, ship systems, and even infantry weapons, without firing expensive equipment, incurring expensive flight costs, or having to be on board a ship when you’re in the 2nd crew.
The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division in Orlando, FL recently awarded up to $80 million in indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity multiple-award contracts.

Services will include contractor operation and maintenance; contract instruction; training device modifications; training device relocations; training system management; in-service engineering office support; spares/product support; and other related trainer support services…
