Kratos Awarded $9.4 Million Contract for Helicopter Maintenance Training Systems

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions announced today that it was awarded a $9.4 million contract in support of a major U.S. ally for helicopter avionics training systems, including two Kratos-developed Maintenance Blended Reconfigurable Aviation Trainers (MBRATs).

Under the awarded contract, Kratos will provide on-site and post-delivery support for the training systems, which provide high fidelity hands-on, full-task and virtual training through simulation of helicopter avionics systems. The MBRAT is a reconfigurable system designed and built by Kratos to provide avionics maintenance procedures and remove-and-install training for multiple rotorcraft platforms.

"Kratos has been a leading provider of helicopter maintenance training systems to the U.S. Department of Defense for many years, and this award extends our global growth in supplying training solutions to our allied forces," said Jose Diaz, Senior Vice President of Kratos Training Solutions. This training system contract award comes on the heels of recent training contract wins in the U.K. and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
