Capt. Matthew D. Schoemaker

Capt. Matthew D. Schoemaker serves as an Aeromedical Test Laboratory Systems Engineer within the FA8621 Aflcmc Wnsk Sims, a critical unit under the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing advanced aircrew training systems and integrated avionics infrastructure. In this technical leadership role, he oversees the acquisition and integration of high-fidelity simulation platforms, bioinstrumentation systems, and human performance monitoring technologies essential for validating pilot readiness and aeromedical safety standards. His procurement activities center on complex systems engineering efforts that bridge operational testing, data analytics, and real-time physiological monitoring to support next-generation flight training environments. Capt. Schoemaker maintains a primary working relationship with Lockheed Martin Corporation, a key systems integrator for synthetic training environments and mission-critical avionics. His procurement patterns reflect a reliance on prime contractors with deep expertise in aerospace simulation, embedded systems, and human-machine interface development. These partnerships are typically structured as cost-plus or fixed-price incentive contracts, emphasizing technical performance, test validation, and lifecycle support for classified and unclassified training assets. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides; all procurements are competed broadly under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical requirement for specialized technical capability that currently resides predominantly within large, established defense contractors with the infrastructure to support rapid integration and secure testing environments. The primary NAICS classification for his acquisitions is 922190, reflecting procurement of specialized public safety and operational readiness services tied to aeromedical testing. His technical domain spans flight simulation hardware, physiological data acquisition systems, cockpit environment modeling, and real-time biofeedback integration—requiring deep domain knowledge in human factors engineering, avionics architecture, and aerospace test protocols.
