Effort will support high-fidelity P-8A aircrew training and operational readiness at three critical training locations

ATSP JV, a joint venture between C2 Technologies and AVT Simulation, has been awarded a contract to perform modifications to the P-8A Aircrew Training Device (ATD) Operational Flight Trainer (OFT) Projection System at two key U.S. [Jacksonville, Florida Integrated Training Center (ITC) and Whidbey Island, Washington Fleet Training Center (FTC)] and Australia [Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Edinburgh] training locations.

The contract supports the continued advancement and operational availability of the P-8A OFT projection systems that provide air crews with a high-fidelity training environment for mission preparation, proficiency, and readiness.

As the P-8A fleet continues to serve as a critical maritime patrol and reconnaissance capability for the United States and allied nations, effective simulation and training infrastructure remains essential to maintaining aircrew proficiency and operational readiness.

“This award reinforces ATSP JV’s commitment to delivering mission-focused training capabilities that directly support warfighter readiness,” said Dolly Oberoi, C2 Technologies’ CEO. “The P-8A is a critical capability for the U.S. Navy and its international partners, and reliable, high-fidelity training systems are fundamental to ensuring aircrews are prepared to execute complex missions. C2 Technologies is proud to bring our expertise to this important effort alongside our ATSP JV partner, AVT Simulation.”

William Glaser, President of AVT Simulation, said, “AVT Simulation is proud to support the P-8A training enterprise. Maintaining the performance and fidelity of operational flight training systems is critical to preparing aircrews for the demands of real-world operations. Together with C2 Technologies, ATSP JV is positioned to deliver the technical expertise and simulation capabilities required to support these essential training missions.”

The geographically distributed scope of the effort reflects the international nature of the P-8A training enterprise and the importance of maintaining common, high-quality training capabilities across U.S. and allied locations. Work at the Jacksonville, Whidbey Island, and RAAF Base Edinburgh facilities will support training operations for personnel responsible for operating and sustaining one of the world’s most advanced maritime patrol aircraft.

Through this contract, ATSP JV, along with its principal subcontractor, Aechelon, will support the continued availability and effectiveness of P-8A training infrastructure across three strategically important locations, contributing to the readiness of U.S. and allied aircrews.
