TYSONS CORNER, VA, August 29, 2019 — ECS has received a three-year, $19M contract from the U.S. Marine Corps to upgrade the software of a marine aviation training management platform in an effort to advance combat readiness, ExecutiveBiz reported Aug. 20.
The USMC Training and Education Command’s aviation standards branch operates the Marine Sierra Hotel Aviation Readiness Program, to which ECS will integrate improved functionalities to support ground unit and simulator deployment, the company said Aug. 20.
Under the firm-fixed-price contract, ECS will also introduce a scaled agile framework, or SAFe, to enhance security and boost the program’s performance when used on different platforms.
