UK Army Aviation trainer simulator upgrade awarded to Rockwell Collins
Rockwell Collins has been awarded the sixth phase of the Mission Command Trainer® (MCT™) upgrade of the United Kingdom Army’s Aviation Command and Tactics Trainer (ACTT).
Valued at $5.5 million, this phase of the program includes 60 channels of the EPX-50 Image Generator, 12 Integrated Helmet and Display Sighting Systems, avionics, weapons and after action review upgrades. Rockwell Collins serves as the prime contractor for ACTT.
The increased field of view reflects current Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) being used by our front line aircrew on operations. Finally, this latest enhancement will expand the ACTT’s role in facilitating joint pre-deployment training.
Col. Alex Tucker, Commandant School of Army Aviation said, “The Phase 6 upgrade, which includes the incorporation of the IHADSS, will ensure that the ACTT continues to play a key role in the Command and Tactics training of our pilots”
The School of Army Aviation has successfully used the tactics trainer for the Attack Helicopter Mission Commanders course in addition to the following already supported courses: Army Pilots Course (APC) - Operational Training Phase (OTP), Aviation Mission Commanders Course, and the Squadron Commanders Course, as well as the Electronic Warfare Instructors Course.
