FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics
Mission Systems announced today it was awarded a contract for
the Army Consolidated Product Line Management Plus (CPM Plus)
Program from the Army Contracting Command in Orlando, Florida. CPM Plus is an eight year,
single-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, cost-plus
fixed-fee/firm-fixed price contract with a ceiling of $883 million.
Executing the 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 will focus primarily on the extensive 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 operational focus will be implemented through an agile,
capabilities-based organization to evolve the LT2 Family of
Training Systems. The intent is to reduce total ownership cost
and operational complexity, to increase technology agility and
concurrency, and to enable enhanced Soldier training
effectiveness.
General Dynamics' expanded seamless Product Line Engineering
approach will build upon the Project Manager for Soldier Training's
investments to extend product line governance, processes and tools
supporting new training domains such as Virtual Training Systems
and the Synthetic Training Environment.
CPM Plus is a follow-on contract to CPM Next, which was awarded
to General Dynamics in 2015.
