What happened
Lockheed Martin secured a contract with the Department of National Defense in the Philippines to supply training systems for the Philippine Air Force’s S-70 Black Hawk helicopters. The agreement includes a full-motion flight simulator, a virtual maintenance trainer, instructional materials, spare parts, and maintenance support through August 2028.

Why it matters
The acquisition is expected to help the Philippine Air Force establish its own Black Hawk training capability. This capability would reduce the Air Force's reliance on overseas facilities, such as the Sikorsky Training Academy in the United States.
Lockheed Martin and the Philippines have expanded their industrial collaboration package to enhance international presence.
