CymSTAR has been awarded a $16.6 million contract to modernize and upgrade the Marine Common Aircrew Trainer (MCAT) devices used by the United States Marine Corps. This contract, awarded in September, will provide advanced training capabilities for Marine Enlisted Aircrew personnel.
The MCAT device is a critical tool for training Marines in the skills necessary for performing various flight missions, including assault support, combat operations, and transport missions. Specific training tasks include aerial gunnery, visual scanning, hoist operations, external lift operations, confined area landings, shipboard landings, and standard and emergency flight procedures. The MCAT allows Marines to use their equipment during training, including flight helmets, harnesses, communication equipment, and night vision devices.
The MCAT is configurable to replicate the CH-53E, MV-22B, and UH-1Y aircraft, providing a realistic training environment for the Marine aircrews. The contract will be executed at multiple locations, including MCAS New River, MCAS Miramar, MCAS Camp Pendleton, MCAS Kaneohe Bay, MCAS Yuma, and MCAS Futenma, Japan.
CymSTAR will provide advanced training capabilities for Marine Enlisted Aircrew personnel on CH-53E, MV-22B, and UH-1Y aircraft.
