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.
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
