Objektum lands a major contract with EADS and the Luftwaffe
Keywords: Objektum, EADS, Contract
Objektum (www.obiektum.com), the training and consultancy expert, has been appointed by the European defence giant EADS to deliver a series of intensive training courses and workshops to the Luftwaffe, designed to provide its software team with the skills they need to maintain its fleet of Eurofighters.
Objektum is an independent provider of tailored training, consultancy and mentoring, specialising in object oriented, real-time and Embedded systems for the defence and aerospace industry. It will be using its expertise in the Eurofighter's technology to deliver specialist training to the Luftwaffe's engineers.
Training will focus primarily on the complex subsystems as well as the engineering skills required to develop the aircraft's software, such as CORE, HOOD and Ada. This is a fundamental part of a major 5 years project to provide the German air force with the skills necessary to independently maintain and operate its fleet of aircraft.
``The right tools and technical expertise will enable the Luftwaffe to support its fleet of Eurofighter aircraft in the National Support Centre. With the help of Objektum we are on the way to training the first crew of Eurofighter System Engineers. The extensive knowledge of Eurofighter technologies and the training experience of Objektum is a fundamental part of the project'', said Sven Koenig, EADS Training Manager.
