Euless, Texas — January 5, 2026
Simtek is proud to announce we have been awarded contracts to deliver Qty 7 shipsets and Qty 11 shipsets supporting multiple C-130J flight simulator cockpit configurations. This award expands Simtek’s role in delivering rugged, high-fidelity simulated avionics hardware built for demanding training environments.
Supporting Multiple Cockpit Configurations
The program scope includes a tailored mix of simulated control panels, cockpit displays, and instruments aligned to advanced training requirements. Each shipset will be configured to match the specific cockpit variant it supports—ensuring consistent form, fit, and function across different simulator configurations.
Built for High-Fidelity Training
Under the award, Simtek will design, manufacture, and deliver ruggedized simulated avionics hardware intended to replicate real cockpit operation and integration. Our focus remains on the same mission we bring to every program: durable hardware, repeatable performance, and realistic cockpit fidelity—built to withstand around-the-clock training operations.
“Being selected for this C-130J program is another major milestone for Simtek and a testament to the performance, reliability, and fidelity our team delivers every day,” said Chad Cowley, CEO of Simtek.
