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 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.”
