Texas, is being awarded a $13,455,500 ceiling-priced modification to
a previously
awarded indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract (N00019-05-D-0012)
to exercise an option for up to 2,000 flight instructor hours on a Boeing
737 Next Generation Aircraft to serve as an E-6B In-Flight Trainer. Work
will be performed at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma City, Okla., and
is expected to be completed in October 2008. Contract funds in the amount
of $13,455,500 will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The
Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md., is the contracting activity. BGI has been providing 737-qualified contract pilots in support of this
program since its inception, and will continue to do so under this exercised
option. October 2007 BGI, LLC has received a contract to support The Boeing Company in the
performance of an $18 million U.S. Navy contract to design, develop,
and produce the Undergraduate Military Flight Officer (UMFO) ground-based
training system for Training Wing 6 at Naval Air Station Pensacola, FL.
As a provider of aircrew training expertise, BGI will supply personnel
with extensive experience in the Training Wing 6 aircrew training mission.
Responsibilities include verification of interactive courseware and support
in the development, test, and delivery of T-45 training devices.
The UMFO system will provide introductory training for naval flight
officers, weapon system officers and international military flight officers
destined for highly sophisticated weapon systems such as the F/A-18F
Super Hornet, the EA-6B Prowler, the EA-18G Growler, the E-2C Hawkeye
and the F-15E Strike Eagle.

Boeing Awarded F-16 Mission Training Center Contract
ST. LOUIS, May 09, 2007 -- The Boeing Company has been awarded a $19
million U.S. Air Force contract to provide Mission Training Center
(MTC) services for F-16 pilots at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C.; Misawa
Air Base in Japan; and Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany.
The contract provides continued F-16 MTC services for up to five
years and will contribute directly to the readiness of F-16 units. "
Boeing is pleased to have the opportunity to provide the U.S. Air Force
with continued service for the F-16 MTCs," said Tony Jones, vice
president of Boeing Training Systems and Services (TSS). "We bring
years of experience in providing the warfighter a Distributed Mission
Operations capability for the F-15C MTCs and anticipate similar success
with F-16 MTC operations." Each F-16 MTC provides four high fidelity F-16 simulators with a 360-degree
visual system, robust synthetic environment, instructor/operator stations
and brief/debrief stations. The simulators can be operated individually
or linked together to provide four-ship training, both within the MTC
and linked to the Distributed Mission Operation Network. Boeing supports
this training capability with several key TSS products, including the
Visual Integrated Display System and Big Tac Combat Environment Server.
Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training and Support, a major subcontractor
to Boeing, will provide the instructor/operator stations, pilot hardware
and simulation software, image generation systems and databases, and
contractor logistics support. BGI, LLC will provide F-16 subject matter
expertise.
"
With the F-15E MTCs beginning service this year, Boeing will be responsible
for providing local and distributed training capability for three of
the Air Forces' primary operational fighter aircraft," said Jones. "We
welcome the challenge to continue to support customer readiness and shape
Distributed Mission Operation capabilities for years to come."
Boeing is the prime contractor for the F-15C MTC contract and has delivered
and continues to operate MTCs at Eglin, Langley, Elmendorf and Kadena
Air Force Bases and Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath. As the F-15E
MTC prime contractor, Boeing is responsible for the design, development,
construction and integration of MTCs at Mountain Home and Seymour Johnson
Air Force Bases and RAF Lakenheath, with the first F-15E MTC at Mountain
Home starting service later this year.
