Forecast text
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking a comprehensive, state-of-the-art training solution to modernize the training infrastructure for its MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter fleet. The contractor will serve as the systems integrator, responsible for the design, fabrication, delivery, installation, integration, testing, and support of a suite of three distinct, yet interoperable, advanced training devices.
This acquisition will enhance the operational readiness, safety, and mission effectiveness of both pilots and rear-crew members. The objective is to provide comprehensive, high-fidelity training for a full spectrum of mission scenarios, including search and rescue (SAR), emergency procedures, and hoist operations, in a safe, repeatable, and cost-effective environment.
The core of the requirement is the delivery of a turnkey solution that includes three training systems:
One (1) MH-60T Level 7 Flight Training Device (FTD): A high-fidelity, fixed-base flight simulator that fully replicates the MH-60T cockpit and systems for pilot and aircrew procedure training.
One (1) Hoist Mission Training System (HMTS): A full-size, immersive, mixed-reality trainer designed for realistic SAR and hoist operations training for rear-crew members.
One (1) Portable Hoist Mission Training System (P-HMTS): A modular, transportable version of the hoist trainer that enables mobile and distributed training capabilities.
