EFV Contract Award with Carley Corporation

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The AEgis Technologies Group is part of Carley Corporation's winning team for the $35M Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) training systems development contract.  The focus of the contract is to produce the training system for Marine Corps EFV accession training, training fleet and reserve forces.  AEgis, as a subcontractor to Carley Corporation in Orlando, FL, is responsible for providing the Image Generation system and the correlated real-time, three-dimensional (3D) databases to represent the operational environment for the EFV trainers.

The training system will consist of subsystems defined as training courseware, simulators, devices, mockups and training aids.  A learning management system will also be obtained.  The contract includes options, which if exercised, would bring the total value of this contract to $36M.  The project will be performed in Orlando, Florida, and is expected to be completed by September, 2015.  This contract was a small business set-aside competitive procurement which was posted in the Navy Electronic Commerce Office.  The Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico, VA, is the contracting activity.

"The EFV win further highlights AEgis' considerable capabilities to develop and deliver real-time 3D visualization systems, and helps the Marine Corps leverage their investment in 3D visualization tools and 3D databases from the Combined Arms Command and Control Training Upgrade System (CACCTUS) Program.  AEgis is thrilled with our partnership with Carley Corporation and the opportunity to provide a crucial component for the Warfighter-in-the-loop Trainers for the Amphibious Assault School, Expeditionary Force, and Reserve Force versions of the EFV Training Systems," said Steve Hill, AEgis President and CEO.

Brian Holmes, AEgis' Director of Orlando Operations, added, "AEgis is honored to be selected by Carley Corporation and the USMC to be an integral team member of the EFV Training Systems Team.  AEgis' experienced and dedicated staff is eager to exceed the Marine Corps' expectations for the high fidelity EFV trainers that will be delivered under this contract."
