U.S. Army Awards DiSTI $4.7M Delivery Order for Abrams Trainers

ORLANDO, Fla. - EntSun -- The DiSTI Corporation, the world's leading provider of virtual training solutions, has received a $4.7M delivery order from the United States Army. As part of the Family of Maintenance Trainers initiative DiSTI will provide Diagnostic Troubleshooting Trainers (DTT) for the M1 Abrams battle tank and the classroom hardware necessary for the program's execution.

"The M1 Abrams tank has been around for nearly 30 years but is still the world's premier main battle tank," said DiSTI CEO John Hayward. "The M1 Abrams remains a revolutionary machine that requires the sophisticated and immersive training that DiSTI's virtual training solutions can provide."

The total solution will extend the existing Abrams DTT prototype lessons to include 80 maintenance and troubleshooting lessons and procedures. The simulated platform is the M1A2 SEP v3. Abrams M1A2 SEPV3 (System Enhanced Package) is a modernized configuration of the Abrams main battle tank (MBT) in service with the U.S. Army. The new version offers enhanced protection and survivability, as well as higher lethality than its predecessors.
