MT&S, the mission training and satellite ground network communications software 
business acquired by **Serco Plc **(LON:SRP) from Northrop Grumman, has been awarded
a single-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract by the US
Air Force to provide enhanced simulator and training services.  MT&S is the sole
awardee under the programme which has a ceiling value of up to $972m (£720m) over
five years, and is expected to generate revenue of around $60m (£45m) from task 
orders during 2026.

Under the Air Force Modelling and Simulation Support Services (AFMS3) programme,
mission critical training systems and services at over 20 locations for the US Air
Force will be delivered ensuring secure, efficient and advanced modelling and simulation
capabilities. The programme will support synthetic training exercises, improve warfighter
skills and enhance operational readiness.

This significant award in the defence sector follows the acquisition of MT&S and
demonstrates Serco’s strong position in the virtually enabled training and simulation
support market.
