F-35 "Lightning II" Training Systems and Simulation

The F-35 "Lightning II" Program Office intends to issue an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide a full range of analysis, modeling and simulation, design, development, production, modification, test and evaluation, laboratory infrastructure, sustainment, delivery, refurbishment, relocation, and product support of training systems and simulation products for the F-35 Air System. The training and training systems and simulation products will provide training events and qualification exercises which, to the extent practicable, give pilots, aircrew and maintainers events identical to those performed in the aircraft. • The IDIQ will serve as the contracting vehicle for procurement of such efforts. • The training systems and simulation products need to provide a robust, dynamic and accurate representation of the delivered air system and associated subsystems prior to or when delivered to the fleet and in support of operation test. • The Program Office intends to award this effort to LM-Aero, Fort Worth, TX, as the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the F-35 aircraft.
