Textron Systems has secured a $41 million Purchase Order to support the U.S. Air Force's T-7A Advanced Pilot Training Programme. Announced on December 30, 2025, the order, placed by Pinnacle Solutions, has a total potential value of $62 million over three years, including options worth up to $21 million.

Textron will design and produce a common fuselage for three maintenance trainers and deliver the Mid-Integrated System Maintenance Trainer (ISMT) and AFT ISMT. The Maintenance Training System aims to equip maintainers with skills for the T-7A and its subsystems, enhancing training through simulated environments. Work will occur at Textron's facility in Goose Creek, South Carolina, focusing on military simulation and maintenance training.
