HII’s Mission Technologies division has secured a five-year, $79 million task order from the U.S. Air Force for aircrew training support. The task order was awarded under the Air Force’s Training Systems Acquisitions III contract.

HII will enable persistent and distributed training of aircrews in support of the Mobility Air Force Distributed Mission Operations organization. The company will use its live, virtual and constructive capabilities to support joint and combined exercises.
