Featuring a one-year base performance period and six-month option, the $4.4m contract requires Salient to provide highly qualified instructors to support the training requirements of the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) personnel.
Specifically, the company will try to enhance RSAF’s interoperability with US and other friendly forces to eventually augment regional stability in accordance with US military objectives.
Salient COO Bill Parker said, "We look forward to providing MRI and the Royal Saudi Air Force with solutions and training that will enable them to effectively deliver and exchange information with other nations in the most effective manner."
Work is scheduled to be carried out in collaboration with the company’s Talent Operations Center (TOC), which features a resource pool of more than 400,000 candidates and also maintains contact with thousands of instructors whose qualifications are carefully screened prior to recruitment.
