02 Jun 15. The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) is investing £51m in a new synthetic training system developed by Lockheed Martin for the Royal Air Force’s Chinook Mk6 helicopter. Lockheed Martin will design and build a purpose built training facility at RAF Odiham in Hampshire, the home of the Chinook fleet, that will prepare pilots and crew for deployment on operations. Virtual reality technologies and simulators will enable crews to experience a wide range of training scenarios ranging from sorties in urban locations to embarked maritime operations. The facility will also include classrooms where aircrews will be trained in the specific flying, emergency and mission capabilities of the Mk6 aircraft. Lockheed Martin already plays a key role in training MoD pilots through its role in Ascent, which is delivering the UK Military Flight Training Service pipeline, and by 2018 Lockheed Martin will have an extensive training footprint across the UK’s Military Aircrew fleet. The 12-year contract to deliver synthetic training for the Chinook Mk6 crews will involve designing, building and managing the facility and introducing the training system. Approximately 12-16 employees from Lockheed Martin UK will also deliver a medium to long term support package to include maintenance and instruction at the RAF Odiham training facility.
Lockheed Martin UK Chief Executive Stephen Ball said: “This new, purpose built facility will use the very latest technology and simulators to replicate real-life operational scenarios and ensure RAF Chinook pilots and crew are trained to the highest standard. Lockheed Martin already has a proven track record in delivering effective training solutions to both civilian and military customers and we look forward to developing our relationship with RAF Odiham and the Chinook fleet.”
02 Jun 15. TSC Advantage, an enterprise risk consultancy specializing in the proactive and holistic defense of trade secrets, intellectual assets and other sensitive information, today announced its plan to move to a larger and newly renovated office space in downtown Silver Spring, Md., to accommodate its growth. TSC Advantage plans to be in its new 6,000 square foot facility on Wayne Avenue for at least the next five years. The new headquarters will further support the projected expansion of TSC Advantage’s business, including its support to global insurance underwriting markets and its traditional consulting business, while retaining proximity to the U.S. capital region, convenient transportation hubs, deep talent pool and now direct placement within Maryland’s cybersecurity epicenter. In the past four years, TSC Advantage has added an average of six to eight new employees per year and has expanded its range of products and services. In late 2014, TSC Advantage received the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s SAFETY Act Developmental Testing and Evaluation designation for its Threat Vector Manager™ cyberrisk assessment solution. In early 2015, the company launched Secure Halo™, software used to collect and calculate risk scoring and domain maturity, as well as a portal by which customers and insurance underwriters alike can access their security assessments in a secure and personalized platform. TSC Advantage is experiencing rapid growth, due in part to the company’s 2013 partnership with more than 15 Lloyd’s of London insurance underwriters and brokers to conduct holistic cyberrisk assessments for insurance products sold to operators of U.S. critical infrastructure and other markets, including private equity, healthcare, retail and maritime.
