As leader of the Warrior Training Alliance (WTA), a group of more than 150 partner companies that was awarded the contract in 2008, Raytheon has served as single integrator, eliminating redundancies and creating efficiencies to effect the savings. The result: $300 million less spent by the customer on the core contract, which primarily covered maintaining training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations for the U.S. Army.
“During the two longest wars in American history, Raytheon has provided proven, responsive and extremely cost-effective training support while helping to ensure the highest levels of U.S. Army readiness globally,” said Bob Williams, Raytheon Global Training Solutions Vice President.
The Warfighter FOCUS contract consolidates the US Army's live, virtual and constructive training domains to increase the effectiveness of training delivery and realize significant savings.
In addition to reducing costs, Raytheon helped to make training support more predictable, collaborative and better coordinated through its proprietary Automated Tool for Lifecycle Analysis and Support (ATLAS) Management Information System, which provides the customer, end users and other stakeholders real-time, metric-driven information and accurate program situational awareness.
The Raytheon-led WTA has conducted more than 1.4 million training events, including Exercise Scarlet Response in July, which tested hundreds of first responders working with the nation's only Chemical Biological Incident Response force. The contract team also successfully processed more than 5,700 task orders, averaging more than 2.5 task orders per day.
Raytheon and the WTA provide services that extend the core contract to include world-wide, comprehensive training support, from direct support to the U.S. Army's Combat Training Centers in the United States to specialty training in overseas locations like Germany, Korea and Afghanistan, to Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operator and maintenance instruction for the US Army.
