The US Army has awarded General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) a $883 million contract for the Consolidated Product Line Management Plus (CPM Plus).
The eight-year 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.
“Modernizing the training experience is one of the Army’s six modernization priorities,” said Chris Brady, president of General Dynamics Mission Systems. “This award increases the viability, relevancy, and alignment of the Army’s current live training systems while bridging to the future Synthetic Training Environment that will be delivered to soldiers worldwide.”
General Dynamics said it would focus primarily on the live training transformation (LT2) product line, the common training instrumentation architecture, and the live training engagement composition for the project manager for soldier training portfolio within the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation.
The intent is to reduce total ownership cost and operational complexity, to increase technology agility and concurrency, and to enable enhanced soldier training effectiveness.
