Valued at up to $560,000, the 28-month CLS award from the USAF involved the delivery of SIMbox-based T-6A Level 5 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-compliant FTDs.

Under the current amendment, SimiGon will be responsible for providing personnel to help support the ongoing maintenance of the training devices.

“SimiGon FTDs are deployed to support a large number of training events conducted every year as part of the USAF’s Undergraduate Remotely Piloted Aircraft Training programme.”

SimiGon president and chief executive officer Ami Vizer said: “This contract amendment is a testimony to our hard work in keeping all 16 training devices fully serviced and available in a very demanding, fast-paced training environment.

“It also demonstrates the USAF’s confidence in our products and we look to continue growing the services business within USAF and other government customers.”
