The DVI Group, a leader in innovative aviation training content, has been awarded a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)contract for work with Air Mobility Command. Key members of DVI’s aviation designteam will spend the next 13 months working closely with Air Mobility Command’s KC-10 Formal Training Unit to design fully functional prototypes of their state-of-the-art aviation training modules.

“Our team is excited about starting the next phase of the SIBR process,” says DVI CEO, Matthew Lopes. “We’ve shown that we’re capable of creating a product technically advanced enough for the Armed Forces, and now a select number of Airmen from Air Mobility Command’s KC-10 Formal Training Unit will have the opportunity to help us introduce the full range DVI’s training system and technology to the Air Force.

Major Douglas P. Zschoche comments: “Working with The DVI Group is an incredible opportunity for us to modernize aircrew training like never before. Through our partnership, we are bringing our student-facing training modules into the 21st century, nearly overnight. None of this would have been possible without AFWERX and the SBIR process, which enables teams like ours to find efficient, private sector solutions for otherwise insurmountable problems facing today’s Air Force."
