Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC), part of the Textron Systems segment of Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT), announced today that it was awarded a contract from the U.S. Navy to continue to provide the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps with training support services under the Fleet Fighter Jet Services (FJS) program. This latest award builds on ATAC’s 20 years of success supporting the U.S. Navy with high subsonic and supersonic aircraft flying a variety of airborne threat simulations.
Under the indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, ATAC may provide approximately 6500-7000 flight hours per year of fleet support to the Navy and Marine Corps over five years (2025-2030), up to a contract ceiling of $554.5 million. The training will be provided by ATAC’s flight team, which consists of highly decorated U.S. military veterans and seasoned civilians, leveraging ATAC’s best-of-breed fleet of Mirage F1, F-21 Kfir, and Mk.58 Hawker Hunter fighter aircraft.
The Navy FJS contract has been the core of ATAC’s business for over two decades. Responsiveness to customer demand has been the key to success on this contract. In 2024, under the current contract, ATAC executed another record year in support of FJS end-user customers, including 82 deployments to over 16 detachment locations, 3189 man-days deployed, a record number of Hunter Sorties/Hours and a record number of supersonic hours by our Kfir and F1 aircraft.
Rich Zins, ATAC Vice President of Business Operations said: “We are honored to once again be selected for another five-year contract in support of Navy and Marine Corps FJS, extending our current tenure in this contract beyond two decades. We would like to thank our customers for their confidence in us, our subcontractors and suppliers for their unwavering support, and our employees, whose hard work, dedication and focus on customer satisfaction are responsible for the past performance that has led to this contract award. We look forward to five more years of providing flexible airpower to meet the fleet’s demanding needs.”
