USAF has awarded MTC Technologies, a Dayton, Ohio, a $13.8 million contract to provide and sustain visual threat recognition and avoidance training devices for active duty, Air Guard, and Reserve aircrews to help them recognize and respond to a variety of anti-aircraft threats. MTC’s San Antonio-based training and technology division will manage the one-year contract, which comes with two option years.
The Pentagon needs a Digital Command and a Digital Warfare Corps, along with other changes, to take advantage of critical new technologies, according to a think tank founded by former Google CEO and Chairman Eric Schmidt.
