Check out the programs LM participated in under STOC I. I'm sure they are looking at Virtra's technology to help them land as much of STOC II ($17.5 Billion IDIQ)as possible.
Lockheed Martin Selected for Role on U.S. Army Simulation, Training and
Instrumentation Contract Vehicle
ORLANDO, Fla., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT)
has been selected by the U.S. Army to compete for future training and
simulation tasks under the Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Omnibus
Contract (STOC II). One hundred and forty one other companies also were
selected to compete for STOC II tasks.
STOC II is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracting vehicle with
a ceiling of $17.5 billion and a total potential ordering period of 10 years.
The 141 companies selected to compete for tasks must submit proposals to vie
for each portion of the overall contract.
STOC II is designed to quickly get simulation and training products and
services into the hands of U.S. and coalition service members.
"Lockheed Martin's selection for STOC II allows us to further enhance our
partnership with PEO STRI helping them train their warfighters," said Jim
Craig, vice president of Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training & Support
Ground, Maritime and Civil Solutions. "The continuation of the STOC concept
gives the Army the flexibility it needs to rapidly respond to changing
training requirements that are brought about by a changing battlefield."
Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training & Support works with the Army to reinvent
how it trains soldiers for today's battlefield and for future conflicts.
Focusing on Human Performance Engineering, STS is developing training
solutions that are student-centric, enabling soldiers to master tasks at a
pace that focuses on the individual, rather than the traditional group
environment. This provides a greater return on the training investment often
reducing the time needed to train troops.
STOC II is a follow on contract to the STOC I, awarded in 2000, an eight-year
$4 billion contract. Among the products Lockheed Martin delivered under STOC I
were the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), CCTT Reconfigurable Vehicle
Simulator, Advanced Gunnery Training System, Reconfigurable Vehicle Tactical
Trainer, the Virtual Combat Convoy Trainer, the Warfighter Simulation
(WARSIM), MILES XXI, Combat Training Center-Objective Instrumentation System
and the Common Training Instrumentation Architecture.
