DULLES, Va., Aug. 26, 2015
/PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Air Force has named Raytheon Company
(NYSE: RTN) as one of the prime contractors on the Training Systems
Acquisition III (TSA III) contract. This allows Raytheon to bid on
delivery orders on this multiple award, indefinite
delivery/indefinite quantity contract with a total ceiling value of
$20.9 billion over 10 years.
Under this Air Force Life Cycle Management Center contract,
Raytheon will compete to provide lifecycle management for aircrew,
maintenance and systems-specific training systems on a global
basis.
"We are more than ready to support the U.S. Air Force to
maintain mission readiness when and wherever needed," said
Dave Wajsgras, president of Raytheon
Intelligence, Information and Services. "This is a perfect
opportunity for us to build on Raytheon's exemplary record of
cost-effective, best-in-class training services."
Wajsgras added that as a supplier of training services to the
U.S. Army, Raytheon has made investments in systems, facilities and
partnerships that have helped save the customer more than
$300 million since 2007, "while
performing at best-in-class levels of training effectiveness and
efficiency."
Raytheon has developed the Automated Toolset for Lifecycle
Activities and Services Management Information System (ATLAS MIS),
a web-based suite of tools that enables real-time management
oversight in the areas of finance, property and training device
sustainment. In use for the U.S. Army's Warfighter FOCUS program,
the system can accurately track more than 30 million spare and
repair parts and provide lifecycle management data to more than
6,000 users and 150 companies across 400 locations around the
world.
The company's Warfighter Support Center, a 200,000-square-foot
lifecycle support, maintenance and sustainment facility, can ship
training device spare and repair parts within hours to anywhere in
the U.S., and in days to anywhere in the world. Raytheon also
operates the Warfighter FOCUS Customer Support Operations Center
(CSOC), located in Orlando,
Florida, which monitors training sustainment activities
around the clock and responds immediately to trainer requests and
needs.
