Lockheed Martin Corporation was awarded a $30.5 million contract to produce three Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) Reconfigurable Vehicle Simulators (RVS) and seven Reconfigurable Vehicle Tactical Trainers (RVTT's) and associated weapons training. This is the second order for these high fidelity training devices under a contract initially awarded in August 2008.

"CCTT RVS and RVTT provides the realistic training environment for reconnaissance and convoy trainers while giving the Army the flexibility to upgrade scenarios to meet future training needs," said Jim Craig, vice president of the Ground, Maritime and Civil Solutions business at Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training & Support. "It gives us the opportunity to help soldiers reinvent how they prepare for their missions."

CCTT-RVS provides reconnaissance and convoy training on a wide variety of wheeled vehicles, including multiple variants of the High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle and Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck. CCTT-RVS/RVTT fully interacts with the entire family of CCTT simulators, allowing them to interact with other systems and provides the ideal platform for future development. Users also benefit from geo-specific terrain databases which realistically represent areas within operating environments.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 146,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2008 sales of $42.7 billion.
