Pinnacle Solutions, Inc. signed acontract with Raytheon’s Orlando-based Global Training Solutions (GTS) for twoUH-60 A/L Virtual Maintenance Trainer (VMT) classrooms to be delivered underthe Task Order for Aviation Maintenance Training of Afghan Air Force awarded inJuly 2019. This Task Order was issued under the Enterprise Training ServiceContract (ETSC) by the U.S. Army’s the Program Executive Office for Simulation,Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI).
The UH-60 VMT, developed by Pinnacle asan Internal Research & Development project, is a computer-based trainingplatform for Black Hawk maintainers at all skill levels. The VMT may be usedfor aircraft systems, subsystems, and component familiarization as well asfault isolation, and troubleshooting. The individual work packages follow approvedmaintenance manuals and make the VMT an ideal training tool for Afghan maintainers.Use of the VMT reduces the traditional use of physical devices or in aworst-case scenario, actual aircraft, while improving retention andcomprehension of the material by increasing the number of hours and repetitionsavailable for individual student training. The VMT can also be used for recurrenttraining to reinforce and refresh knowledge or procedures and skills that arenot applied on a regular basis.
Pinnacle’s UH-60 Subject Matter Experts/Instructorswill be utilizing the UH-60 VMT for instruction provided to Afghan Air Forcestudents as an integral part of Raytheon’s new Afghan Maintenance TrainingProgram.
