Adacel Systems has received a subcontract from Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems to support the US Army’s Training Aids, Devices, Simulators and Simulations (TADSS) Maintenance Program (ATMP), the company announced on 12 February.
Under the contract, Adacel will provide simulation system maintenance and support service personnel at Fort Rucker, Alabama, in support of the army’s Enhanced Tower Simulator system that is used to train the army’s air traffic controllers.
Lockheed Martin received the prime contract, which is incrementally funded with a six-month base period of performance and six optional one year periods extending through June 2025, from the US Army Contracting Command in support of the US Army PEO for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation.
ATMP provides worldwide maintenance support for TADSS. In total, the programme will sustain more than 300,000 fielded systems.
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.
