As part of the contract, Lockheed Martin Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) will provide personnel to train, operate, manage and maintain logistical infrastructures, facilities, equipment and systems in order to improve, sustain and operate equipment performance as well as reduce life-cycle costs for the supported systems.
The team will also carry out Airborne Crew Coordination, Intelligence Analyst, Sensor Maintainer and Airborne Sensor Operator training of US Army soldiers at several locations.
The contract will run from May 2016 to July 2017 and until March 2019 if the two one-year extension options are exercised.
