This new investment is part of the company’s commitment to supporting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, particularly in the development of a future cybersecurity workforce.
CACI employed the flight simulator, an FAA-approved Redbird King Air 350 Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD), to give scenario-based training to over 100 pilots before to deployment to Afghanistan. The interactive, cutting-edge training equipment will be housed in the UAH Center for Cybersecurity Research and Education Laboratory in the future.
This is CACI’s second commitment to STEM education in the Huntsville area, following a partnership with the Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering (ASCTE).
