ECS Expands Global Aviation Training Support

Engineering & Computer Simulations (ECS) is highlighting its international aviation training and sustainment capabilities at I/ITSEC 2025, Booth 833. The company provides ongoing operation and maintenance of flight simulators to support allied aircrews worldwide.

ECS works with multiple Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (TADSS) under the U.S. Army’s Warfighter–Training & Readiness Solutions (W-TRS) program, offering in-country sustainment, instructor support, logistics coordination, and courseware development for partner nations.

Greg Kane, chief operating officer at ECS, said, “Our mission is to ensure the warfighter can train anytime and anywhere without waiting on logistics, permissions, or system availability. We built our international sustainment framework to deliver reliable, on-site support that keeps simulators running and training uninterrupted.”

ECS maintains and supports aviation simulation systems including the AH-64E Longbow Crew Trainer, CH-47F Transportable Flight Proficiency Simulator, UH-60L Operational Flight Trainer, and CH-47 New Equipment Training courseware.

The company’s turnkey model includes in-country instructors and maintenance experts, Sponsorship and Life Support services for compliance and logistics, and courseware development aligned to U.S. aviation standards. Operations currently span the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Germany, South Korea, and Indonesia.

Andrea Rodriguez, international programs and compliance manager, said, “By handling host-nation compliance and day-to-day operations, we reduce risk for our customers and keep critical programs running efficiently.”

ECS’s work extends system life cycles, reduces downtime, limits reliance on live-flight operations, and reduces the need for U.S. personnel overseas. Expansion into additional theaters and next-generation platforms is planned for 2026.

Live demonstrations of the CH-47 New Equipment Training solution will be available at Booth 833 at I/ITSEC.
