Recently the US Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI PEO STRI Program Executive Office Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (US DoD) ) awarded a $6.9 million contract (with a total value of $8.78 million if all options are exercised) to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC SAIC - http://saic.com. ), as the CDT prime contractor. FAAC is SAIC's primary subcontractor for CDT, and it's responsibilities include providing driving trainers with visual data bases.

The CDT will train basic driving skills and tactical maneuvering for combat situations. The Stryker driver's compartment will replicate the all-driving controls including: the vehicle dashboard, lights, indicators, switches, instruments and pedals. The simulator will train all drivers on various types of terrain and environmental conditions such as desert, woodland, urban, mountainous, and frozen terrains. It also will allow simulation of day or night, rain, fog, and other conditions that Soldiers encounter in live operations.

The simulator will provide a realistic representation of vehicle performance in accordance with the terrain and the actions taken by the driver, including vehicle malfunctions and embedded diagnostic and trouble-shooting capabilities for the driver. The system will also include after action review to provide the driver and crew with critical lessons-learned feedback of their simulated missions.

"The CDT program is a task order contract for Army driving trainers," explained Kurt Flosky, FAAC program manager. "FAAC's first task order for Stryker driving simulators with visual databases is based on the technology that has built our successful line of over 70-installed military driving simulators for the Army, Marines, and Navy."

"This contract is a major win for FAAC and the SAIC team," stated Al Jordan, FAAC president. "The Army has referenced long-terms goals of producing as many as 200 driving simulators over the next ten years, and we anticipate a long, successful relationship with SAIC and their customer, PEO STRI."

"FAAC is an established supplier of driver simulators in many areas of transportation including the military, transit, trucking and emergency first response," said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "This CDT award for Sryker simulators validates this position."
