complexities. They are intimately familiar with, and indeed assisted in the evolution of
many, of the processes used in DoD acquisition, such as:
 | Training System

VSAT personnel
maintain current knowledge of changes in the way the government does business in the field
of training systems. Personnel are very familiar with the issues surrounding Distributed
Mission Training (DMT), having conducted a comprehensive study on DMT aircrew training for
the Air Force. VSAT is also familiar with DoD and joint initiatives in the field of
modeling and simulation, having road-mapped such initiatives towards the goal of
tri-service virtual warfare. VSAT also is aware of (and sensitive to) issues in the move
towards contractor training.
