MCLEAN, Va. Shipbuilders and military-training company HII announced that its Mission Technologies division won a task order valued at approximately $182 million to provide logistics support for U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot-training devices.
Under the terms of the five-year task order, HII and subcontractor Trident Military Systems will perform engineering maintenance for the U.S. Air Force’s Mission Tactics Trainer Training System Support Center, which supports and sustains F-16 aircraft-simulator systems used by the U.S. Air National Guard, U.S. Air Force Reserve Command, and the U.S. Navy.

Work under the task order will be performed primarily in Mesa, Arizona.
