General Dynamics Mission Systems was awarded a contract for the Army Consolidated Product Line Management Plus (CPM Plus) Program from the Army Contracting Command in Orlando, Florida. CPM Plus is an eight year, single-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, cost-plus fixed-fee/firm-fixed price contract with a ceiling of $883 million.
Executing the contract will improve the Army’s individual and collective expeditionary training systems at unit home stations and the major Combat Training Centers, including Military Operations on Urban Terrain training sites, live fire and digital ranges and additional training facilities located worldwide.
General Dynamics will focus primarily on the extensive LiveTraining Transformation (LT2) Product Line, the Common Training InstrumentationArchitecture, and the Live Training Engagement Composition for the ProjectManager for Soldier Training portfolio within the Program Executive Office forSimulation, Training and Instrumentation.
The operational focus will be implemented through an agile,capabilities-based organization to evolve the LT2 Family of Training Systems.The intent is to reduce total ownership cost and operational complexity, toincrease technology agility and concurrency, and to enable enhanced soldiertraining effectiveness.
“Modernizing the training experience is one of the Army’ssix modernization priorities,” said Chris Brady, president of General DynamicsMission Systems. “This award increases the viability, relevancy, and alignmentof the Army’s current live training systems while bridging to the futureSynthetic Training Environment that will be delivered to soldiers worldwide.”
General Dynamics’ expanded seamless Product Line Engineeringapproach will build upon the Project Manager for Soldier Training’s investmentsto extend product line governance, processes and tools supporting new trainingdomains such as Virtual Training Systems and the Synthetic TrainingEnvironment.
CPM Plus is a follow-on contract to CPM Next, which wasawarded to General Dynamics in 2015.
