Under the contract, Textron Systems will design, develop and produce the common fuselage structure for three maintenance trainers, as well as deliver the Mid-Integrated System Maintenance Trainer and the Aft Integrated System Maintenance Trainer in full. The optional elements include the production of additional units of these maintenance training systems.
The T-7A Maintenance Training System is intended to provide maintainers with the core skills required to support the aircraft and its subsystems. The integrated trainers will enable simulated training for tasks such as system removal and installation, visual examinations, inspections and other maintenance procedures.
“Textron Systems brings the Pinnacle team decades of proven expertise in advanced maintenance training systems to effectively equip the U.S. Air Force with the skills and essential capabilities needed to maintain the T-7A and its associated subsystems,” said Steve Mensh, Senior Vice President of Electronic Systems. “This effort represents Textron Systems’ excellence in training and mission readiness as part of our ongoing commitment to the U.S. Air Force.”
