Mission:
Replicate the Navy’s new TH-73A training helicopter with the latest high-level simulation and advanced training capabilities, while updating the existing Navy TH-57 GBTS to cost-effectively modernize training resources.
Solution:
Frasca put their expertise to work, to create cutting-edge rotorcraft simulation for the Navy’s new TH-73A aircraft platform. Focused on driving cost efficiencies, an extensive portion of preexisting TH-57 FTD assets were converted to modernize the required training system. The on-time delivery of the new and updated devices played a crucial role to meet capacity needs to train all initial entry rotary wing Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard aviators as well as Instructor and Tiltrotor curriculums. FRASCA committed to an extremely aggressive schedule, delivering the first device nine months after contract award, and four devices after twelve months of award.
