The agreement between the U.S. Air Force and Alpha-Omega Change Engineering calls for the company to develop courseware and training programs for F-15E, F-16 and F-22A aircrews.

The Pentagon says that the total cumulative value of the contracts awarded to Alpha-Omega Change Engineering equates to more than $44.2 million.

Work on the contract will occur at multiple Air Force bases around the United States, and is expected to be complete by March 2019.

The total amount of the modified contract will be obligated to Alpha-Omega Change Engineering at the time of award from fiscal 2018 operations and maintenance funds.
