Boeing has obtained a $9.99 million contract modification from the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center for updates to F-15C and F-15E Mission Training Centers (MTCs) ‘in order to achieve training service objectives’, the DoD announced on 18 August.
Work will be carried out at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho; Seymour Johnson AFB, North Carolina; Nellis AFB, Nevada; Kadena Air Base, Japan; and RAF Lakenheath, UK.
Boeing is already supplying F-15 MTC simulation services to support USAF Air Combat Command plus the Pacific Air Forces Command and Air Force in Europe Command, under a $128.84 million USAF contract.
These services will provide the simulation capability to train F-15 pilots and system operators in high-fidelity training devices.
Boeing is also upgrading USAF F-15C and F-15E MTCs with the Suite 9.1 Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System.
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
The company will operate in two new locations in the coming years to better support US services.
This type of tool provides more realistic training easing the incorporation of new scenarios that accurately represent the threats of the battlefield.
The Engineering Corps has been conducting individual instruction using FLAIM Systems’ Sweeper and should start collective deployments in 2025.
The next-generation platform is motion-compatible and can be used in OTW and NVG applications.
The system can be used to prepare soldiers for both drone offensive operations and CUAS missions.
