Lockheed Martin Awarded Contract for Pilot Survivability Training with
Naval Air Warfare Center
Lockheed Martin has been awarded a 5-year, single award indefinite delivery,
indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a ceiling value of $424 million
by the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center – Weapons Division (NAWC-WD)
to support the Aircrew Electronic Warfare Tactical Training Range (AEWTTR)
program in Ridgecrest, Calif. The company will provide tactical training
products and services for Navy pilot training through development of
threat radar emitter simulators and other target/threat peripheral equipment.

Lockheed
Martin Information Systems & Global Solutions has supported the
Navy with radar simulator training technology for more than 30 years.
This new contract extends that commitment by providing radar simulators
in support of pilot survivability training. The company will also provide
Tactical Training Range (TTR) engineering support to update, repair
and/or replace legacy radar systems with new technology and provide
new radar data interfaces and range integration.
“Today’s radar systems are more advanced than ever, but
retroactive compatibility with previous technology is critical to our
military’s communications and safety,” said TW Scott, vice
president, Technical Services, Lockheed Martin Information Systems &
Global Solutions. “The AEWTTR project will effectively train Navy
pilots for the various in-theater scenarios they will encounter during
their missions.”
