Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC) announced it won a contract from the U.S. Navy to provide Stand-off Jamming Jets Services training.
The contract would pay up to $200 million over the five years for ATAC, a Textron Inc., company, to provide SOJ Jets Services training to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. As part of the contract, ATAC will provide two contractor-owned and contractor-operated, highly-modified business jet aircraft to support the training on a wide variety of airborne threat simulation capabilities to train, test and evaluate weapon systems, operators and aircrew on how to counter potential stand-off jamming and communications jamming in today’s electronic combat environment.
“This new contract from the Navy is a powerful affirmation of our capabilities and expertise to support the Navy mission,” Rich Zins, ATAC Vice President of Business Operations said. “The contract continues to highlight ATAC’s proven track record of 25 years of stellar adversary air (ADAIR) performance, and we are now moving into a new mission area. We plan to deliver high-level electronic warfare training to the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. This training is critical to the Navy’s ability to effectively counter adversary threats around the world.
