HII Completes First Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated Air Combat Training Mission with U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa
2022年3月4日 - 2:00AM
HII (NYSE:HII) successfully completed the first contractor-owned,
contractor-operated (COCO) air combat training mission with the
U.S. Air Force in Europe. This training represents a milestone for
contracted adversary air training outside the United States and
enhances the training readiness for U.S. Air Forces in Europe/Air
Forces Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA).
Over a 16-month period leading up to the air combat training
mission, HII architected the training program and facilitated the
coordination of all operational components with European
governments, regulatory agencies and USAFE-AFAFRICA. The air combat
training program enables U.S. Air Forces in Europe to evaluate
training effectiveness, suitability and interoperability of
contractor-operated air training for U.S. forces in the European
theater. COCO training support remains a key option that is cost
effective for the U.S. government, while maximizing training and
extending the service life of combat equipment.
“Adversary training enhances the U.S. security defense posture,
enables freedom of movement, fosters global security and increases
combat effectiveness,” said Garry Schwartz, president of the ISR
business group within HII’s Technical Solutions division. “HII is
proud to have assisted in this ground-breaking effort in
partnership with Top Aces to bring advanced COCO adversary aircraft
training to USAFE-AFAFRICA’s fighter squadrons.”
Teaming partner Top Aces, Inc., a global leader in air combat
training, provided adversary air support by flying the
contractor-owned, contractor-operated Douglas A-4N Skyhawks.
“December’s flights with the U.S. Air Force in Europe’s 480th
Fighter Squadron Warhawks at Spangdahlem Air Base, were the
culmination of months of work by the HII team and partner Top
Aces,” Schwartz said. “We presented sophisticated contractor
adversary air training with advanced capabilities to a front-line
fighter squadron within the unique constraints of Europe’s
regulatory and airspace environment. Although this type of training
has become commonplace for U.S.-based fighter units, this is the
first assessment in USAFE-AFAFRICA’s European area of
responsibility.”
Work was performed under the persistent multi-role operations
task order for U.S. Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance, issued under the one acquisition solution for
integrated services contract by the U.S. General Services
Administration.
