Team Vertex Awarded Contract to Support BAE Systems’ Project OdySSEy Simulator Program
10 December 2024 (Niceville, FL) – Vertex Solutions, a small business recognized for its excellence in systems integration and advanced learning technology, is proud to announce a major contract win with BAE Systems. Team Vertex will deliver cutting-edge simulation technology for the Project OdySSEy program, which is developing a single synthetic environment, enabling air, land, sea, space, and cyber forces to plug in and train together.
Vertex Solutions, as the Prime contractor, in partnership with RYAN AEROSPACE, and SASimulations, brings together top-tier technologies and expertise to create a fully reconfigurable, open-architecture simulator that enables seamless integration across various platforms. Designed with years of lessons learned from several Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) sponsored USAF advanced pilot training programs, Pilot Training Transformation (PTT), Multi-Place Mixed Reality (MPMR) flight simulator, and Virtual Training for Air Dominance (VTRAD)/ Fighter Bomber Fundamentals (FBF), this simulator represents a next-generation solution tailored for both military and commercial aviation applications. The Project OdySSEy simulators will offer a highly adaptable platform that meets the needs of modern military forces and fosters new opportunities for civilian use in commercial aviation training.
“We’re honored to partner with BAE Systems in their mission to shape the future of training," said Dennis Wikoff, President and COO at Vertex Solutions. “This contract reinforces Vertex Solutions’ role as a leader in XR training solutions that empower the future of flight training. We are excited to work together in advancing a new era of training capabilities”
Lucy Walton, Head of Training for BAE Systems Air sector, said: "BAE Systems has a strong track record of partnership through Project OdySSEy and we are delighted to welcome Vertex and Ryan Aerospace to join the collective of agile, innovative companies which are powering our next generation training ambitions.
"Vertex brings its unique experience and technology to our work delivering the complex, secure, affordable and sustainable training our customers need in the virtual world."
As part of BAE Systems’ strategic objective to transition from its current training offerings to a technology-driven Training Service Integrator role, Vertex Solutions will provide five Targeted Fidelity Training Devices to BAE Systems facilities. These simulators will play an integral role in the Project OdySSEy program. The scope of this contract includes end-to-end development and support for the simulators, from design and manufacturing to testing, commissioning, and life-cycle support.
