Kratos Defense & Security Solutions has secured approximately $65 million in new contract awards to deliver simulators and training solutions supporting aircraft operations and maintenance for both U.S. and allied forces.
The Kratos-built training systems cover multiple platforms, including the Army’s CH-47F Chinook and UH-60M Blackhawk helicopters, along with the Air Force’s UH-1 Huey. Among the awards are orders for Kratos’ MBRAT simulator, a multi-platform avionics maintenance trainer that consolidates several aircraft types onto a single device. The system is designed to reduce costs while meeting rigorous training proficiency standards.
“2025 marked continued momentum for Kratos in air platform training,” said Jose Diaz, Senior Vice President of Kratos Training Solutions. “Our customers value our ability to deliver affordable systems that produce tangible results. By integrating the full spectrum of immersive technologies—augmented reality, virtual reality, and our proprietary Mixed Reality—we tailor the right solution to each unique training challenge.”
The company’s 2025 portfolio extended beyond aviation. Kratos delivered simulation products for ground combat systems, subsurface and surface naval combat platforms, naval weapon systems, and unmanned combat aerial vehicles. These solutions serve a customer base spanning the U.S. Department of Defense and allied nations.
Kratos has built a reputation for rapid prototyping and cost-efficient production in the simulation sector. Its training systems are increasingly seen as force multipliers, enabling personnel to achieve combat readiness without the expense and wear of live platform usage.
The company continues to invest in technologies that bridge physical and digital training environments. Its mixed reality capabilities allow maintainers and operators to interact with virtual components overlaid on real-world settings, improving retention and reducing the need for physical prototypes.
With these latest awards, Kratos reinforces its position as a competitive player in the global training and simulation market, particularly in maintenance training for rotorcraft and next-generation combat systems.
