Lockheed Martin has chosen Elbit Systems to provide support for the F-35 training center of Israel’s air force following a competitive selection process, Israel Defense reported Friday.
The two companies aim to establish a contract in the coming months for the sustainment of the F-35 training facility at Nevatim Air Base, according to the report.
Israel expects to receive the first of 33 F-35A aircraft in December 2016 and the training center at Nevatim Air Base will support aircraft deployment.
F-35A is the conventional takeoff and landing variant of Lockheed’s F-35 fighter aircraft.
