    Posted by John McHaleFALLS CHURCH, Va., 9 Aug. 2010. CSC (NYSE: CSC) won a $28 million modification to its Flight School XXI contract for an increase in simulator-based flight and related aviation training support to the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence at Ft. Rucker, Ala. The Flight School XXI contract modification is issued through the Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI). Under the terms of the contract modification, CSC will provide training services for new Army aircraft configurations to support aviation training activities.

The CSC-led team built a 136,000-square-foot facility to house 34 high-fidelity flight simulators, and provided 18 reconfigurable devices for unit training. Students experience combat conditions in realistic environments on terrain that they will see in the future while learning to fly and fight."We are proud to expand our role in support of the U.S. Army's charge to prepare highly trained, combat-ready pilots," says Randy Cash, vice president and general manager of CSC's North American Public Sector Huntsville Alabama Operations.
