Engility to support US Navy Pacific Fleet training
Engility Holdings has been awarded a contract to support tactical warfare training for US Navy Pacific Fleet forces, the company announced on 24 March. This award represents a continuation of existing work, and it will be performed over one base and four option years.
Under the $34.9 million contract, Engility will develop and execute simulation-based war games to support training for the Tactical Training Group Pacific, Expeditionary Warfare Training Group Pacific and Tactical Training Group Pacific Detachment, Yokosuka, Japan.
More specifically, Engility will configure and manage databases, interfaces between the simulations, networks and C4I systems. During the war game execution, it will conduct role-playing with the forces and interact with the training audience.
The modelling and simulation systems include joint semi-automated forces and marine air ground task force tactical warfare simulations.
Tony Smeraglinolo, CEO and president, Engility, said: 'This is Engility's most significant war gaming support contract. This win is a result of our team's outstanding past performance combined with a 27-year relationship with the navy's Pacific Fleet.'
