Air Force Global Strike Command Approves Kratos Aerial Gunnery Simulator for Use in Training
02 May 2018 - 11:06PM
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS), a
leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today that
its Kratos Aircrew Training Center (KATC) in Orlando, FL has been
conducting Aerial Gunnery Training (AGT) for Air Force Global
Strike Command (AFGSC) Special Mission Aviators.
Kratos’ Aircrew Training Center’s full-mission
simulators provide a cost-effective solution by minimizing
lifecycle expenses associated with simulator ownership while
maintaining training quality. AFGSC aircrew members are led by
experienced Kratos instructors and train using the latest
technologies and simulation systems to ensure mission
readiness.
The contract was awarded last year by KBR’s
global government services business, KBRwyle.
As Jose Diaz, Senior Vice President, Kratos
Training Solutions explains: “AFGSC recently approved our AGT
Simulator to count towards some of the annual Continuation Training
requirements. This is further evidence that virtual reality is a
viable training alternative to live training. High-fidelity
simulation systems can cost millions of dollars to own and sustain.
When budget or time constraints prevent acquisition of such
systems, the Kratos Aircrew Training Center can provide aircrew
members with training equivalent to what they would have received
on their own simulator or aircraft while maximizing training
budgets and increasing readiness.”
In addition to aerial gunnery training the KATC
also delivers training in crew coordination, rescue hoist, and
cargo sling operations.
Kratos Training Solutions designs and develops
aircrew and maintenance technical training systems for air, land
and sea platforms created to enhance warfighter readiness. Kratos
has delivered over 100 training systems to the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, Air Force and other allied forces over the past twenty years
while developing a reputation for cost-effective, blended training
environments that combine virtual and physical components to
maximize training realism and effectiveness.
