Inzpire has been contracted by Lockheed Martin UK to provide aircrew instruction and technical support for the new simulator training facility being built at Royal Air Force (RAF) Odiham, the company announced on 13 February.
The company has partnered with Operational Solutions, which will provide technical maintenance support to the training facility.
The new simulator facility, being built by Lockheed Martin UK, will have helicopter synthetic systems capable of providing full crew training for pilots and crewmen in individual or multi-aircraft tactical scenarios.
