HTX Labs Secures $90M Air Force Training Contract

HTX Labs has secured numerous task orders with the US Air Force on a $90 million Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to deliver immersive training content and solutions across the US Air Force.

This IDIQ contract is a single vendor, decentralized contract that can be used across the Department of the Air Force, including the US Air Force (all MAJCOMs) and the US Space Force.

HTX Labs has secured the following task orders since being awarded the IDIQ to deliver immersive training solutions for the US Air Force:

Digital classroom to support CV-22 immersive, aircraft familiarization training.

Building a high-fidelity T-6 digital classroom to support immersive academics (transparent, wireframe aircraft) for the Electrical, Fuel, Hydraulic, Egress, and Engine systems, with the ability to identify specific system components.

Expanding the immersive academics (transparent, wireframe aircraft) for the C-130 Fuel system, C-130 refuel procedures, F100 Engine, and ACES II Egress ejection seat.

Building digital classrooms for the F-15E, F-22, B-1, and B-52 to develop immersive academics (transparent, wireframe aircraft) training and safe for maintenance procedures. Additionally, HTX is building immersive academics for munition AME and pylons, as well as digital classrooms to support an MHU-196 munitions loader, a Munitions Assembly Conveyor, and GBUs -38, -12, and -31v3.

Continues to expand aerospace ground equipment (AGE) immersive training on the A/M32A-86, A/M32A-60, and the MJ-1B bomb lift.

C-130 Crew Chief Track training for installation, operations and servicing of battery, flight deck lighting, utility reservoir and accumulator, ramp and door, nose and main landing gear and tires and conducting a preflight inspection.

Creating a digital classroom for the Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) to develop immersive academics for multiple systems, theory of operations and maintenance training.

The US Air Force acknowledges the value of immersive training as a critical component to modernize and enhance training programs. Highly engaging digital classrooms and advanced training simulations aim to provide realistic scenarios that better prepare personnel for real-world challenges in a safe, controlled environment.

Maintenance training is a primary focus area within the USAF, with technicians gaining hands-on experience with virtual equipment, improving proficiency and reducing equipment downtime.

“These task orders enable us to better meet the US Air Force's needs through our EMPACT platform," said Chris Verret, President and CTO of HTX Labs. “They are accelerating the delivery of a critical mass of interactive, digital classrooms that are relevant to a broad range of career fields. When coupled with EMPACT, these digital classrooms offer the Air Force immersive training solutions that are highly reusable, sharable across units and bases, deployable to XR and 2D hardware devices, sustainable via low and no-code lesson authoring tools, and simple to scale and distribute through our secure, ATO compliant cloud.”
