Krista Scott

Krista Scott supports the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division in procuring advanced simulation and aviation training systems critical to naval aviation readiness. While her official title is not listed, her procurement activities center on acquiring integrated training platforms, mission-critical avionics infrastructure, and immersive simulation environments that enhance pilot and aircrew proficiency. She manages acquisitions aligned with the division’s strategic modernization goals, focusing on contract types that ensure rapid technology insertion and lifecycle sustainment of training systems used across fleet training centers and operational squadrons. Scott maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide high-fidelity flight simulators, synthetic training environments, and curriculum-integrated training solutions. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven capabilities in aviation training systems, while also engaging smaller vendors for niche technical support and specialized services. These relationships are characterized by long-term contract performance and a focus on interoperability with Navy training standards and mission rehearsal architectures. Her contracting approach demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as set-asides—equally divided between Total Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) categories. This reflects a deliberate effort to foster innovation and capacity within the defense training ecosystem while ensuring compliance with federal socioeconomic mandates. Scott’s procurement focus is dominated by NAICS 611512 (Flight Training), underscoring her expertise in acquiring pilot training services, synthetic training devices, and curriculum development for naval aviation. Secondary emphasis on NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and 561990 (All Other Support Services) indicates her involvement in securing cybersecurity-enabled training infrastructure and ancillary support services essential to sustaining complex simulation networks. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of aviation training systems, mission-critical simulation, and defense education technology.
