Jamise Attilus

Jamise Attilus serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), overseeing the acquisition of advanced simulation and avionics systems critical to naval aviation readiness. Responsible for managing complex contracts aligned with the Department of the Navy’s mission to modernize tactical training infrastructure, Attilus specializes in procuring immersive training environments, mission-critical flight simulators, and integrated avionics test platforms. Their work directly supports curriculum development for pilots and aircrews through the acquisition of high-fidelity, real-time training systems that replicate combat scenarios and operational workflows. Attilus maintains strategic relationships with core contractors including STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide specialized simulation hardware, software integration, and training system sustainment services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military-grade training architectures, including distributed interactive simulation (DIS) and high-end visual systems. The contracting approach emphasizes long-term sustainment, technical interoperability, and rapid fielding of upgrades to maintain operational relevance across evolving naval aviation platforms. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Attilus’s contracting pattern, with 75% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate innovation and capacity within the defense small business ecosystem, prioritizing firms capable of delivering specialized simulation and training system components. The consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a broader agency goal to broaden the supplier base and enhance resilience in critical training technology supply chains. The procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 333310, Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing, encompassing the acquisition of training device systems, electro-optical simulation hardware, and mission-specific avionics test benches. This technical specialization requires deep familiarity with military standards for training system certification, including STANAG 4586 and T-1000 series requirements, ensuring all procured systems meet the rigorous performance and safety benchmarks of naval aviation training environments.
