USAF has awarded MTC Technologies, a Dayton, Ohio, a $13.8 million contract to provide and sustain visual threat recognition and avoidance training devices for active duty, Air Guard, and Reserve aircrews to help them recognize and respond to a variety of anti-aircraft threats. MTC’s San Antonio-based training and technology division will manage the one-year contract, which comes with two option years.
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, nominee to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Defense Department needs to upgrade its electronic warfare capability and its EW training ranges; just as his predecessor said at his own confirmation hearing.
