Nick Ali Jr., vice president, training and simulation solutions

Lockheed Martin Information Systems is a full-service simulator division that is prime contractor for the Army's Close Combat Tactical Trainer program and the Warfighters' Simulation 2000, which is a computer-based simulator that is the Army's next-generation command and control-training environment.

LMIS is structured into three major product areas, support solutions, information technology/identification solutions and training and simulation solutions. LMIS designs, builds, and integrates modeling and training systems for aviation, electronic warfare, and C4I operations and ground vehicles.

In 2000, LMIS was chosen to provide aircrew training, mission-rehearsal operations and support for the Air Force Special Operation Command at Hurlburt Field, Fla., and the Education Command at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. The award is a fixed-price, cost-plus contract worth $277 million. The deal is designed to run for six years.
