Anthony (Tony) Mcentegart

Anthony (Tony) McEntegart serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), where he manages complex acquisitions for advanced aviation training systems and mission-critical simulation infrastructure. His role centers on securing integrated training solutions that enhance pilot and aircrew readiness through immersive, high-fidelity environments, including avionics modernization, tactical combat training systems, and curriculum-aligned digital learning platforms. McEntegart oversees contracts under the Department of the Navy’s broader aviation training modernization initiative, ensuring technical compliance, interoperability, and lifecycle sustainment of next-generation training assets. He maintains enduring partnerships with industry leaders such as STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, firms with deep expertise in flight simulation, synthetic training environments, and mission systems integration. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and technical innovation, favoring contractors with proven experience in defense-grade simulation architectures and real-time data analytics for training efficacy. McEntegart’s portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-asides, indicating a priority on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his procurement strategy, his emphasis on performance and system integration naturally draws in specialized firms capable of meeting rigorous military standards. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting a strong demand for custom software development, systems integration, and enterprise-level training platform design. He consistently acquires solutions that bridge hardware-software ecosystems, including distributed simulation networks, virtual and augmented reality training modules, and AI-driven adaptive learning systems tailored to naval aviation operational requirements.
