"This task order allows us to deliver the second generation of crew-member training capability and enables us to help PEO STRI ensure that America’s warfighters receive the best training possible."

Commenting on the technology, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager John Gully said the simulators would enable non-rated crew members to train on critical, coordinated tasks such as gunnery, sling load and hoist operations with pilots.

"This task order allows us to deliver the second generation of crew-member training capability and enables us to help PEO STRI ensure that America’s warfighters receive the best training possible," Gully added.

As part of the non-rated crew member manned module (NCM3) programme, the task order has a 37-month period of performance and was awarded under the second STRI omnibus contract (STOC II).
