Boeing has received a four-year, $194 million contract to update the courseware and software for the US Navy’s P-8A Poseidon training system, the company announced on 13 September.

The contract will see Boeing upgrade devices at three locations for the US Navy and the Royal Australian Air Force to reflect the latest configuration of the Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. 

Boeing’s P-8A training system has been designed to provide training to both pilots and aircrews. The aircrew training solution includes courseware, classrooms, part-task trainers and full-fidelity simulators for both pilot and mission crew.

The maintenance training solution includes courseware, classrooms, hardware and virtual maintenance simulators to support all US Navy maintenance certifications. The P-8A training system allows operators to train and prepare for missions while reducing flight hours for the aircraft, as well as fuel costs associated with in-flight training.
