Lisette Behmke

Lisette Behmke serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (N61340), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to modernize and sustain advanced aviation training systems. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical engineering services that enable the development of immersive simulation environments, tactical combat training platforms, and integrated avionics infrastructure essential for naval aircrew readiness. Her portfolio centers on high-fidelity training systems requiring rigorous technical validation, systems integration, and lifecycle sustainment, aligning with the division’s strategic priorities in digital modernization and operational readiness. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored by STRACON SERVICES GROUP, LLC and FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL INC, both of which provide specialized engineering, simulation development, and flight training system integration services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven expertise in defense-grade training technologies and systems engineering. Behmke’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and long-term sustainment capabilities, fostering stable, mission-aligned vendor relationships rather than transactional procurement. Behmke’s acquisition strategy reflects a firm commitment to open competition, with 100% of her contracts awarded under non-set-aside conditions. There is no discernible preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, indicating a procurement focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic categorization. This approach prioritizes mission-critical performance and system interoperability, ensuring the highest standards of operational readiness. Her procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 541330 — Engineering Services — encompassing systems engineering, simulation architecture, software development for embedded training systems, and avionics integration. She consistently procures advanced technical services supporting synthetic training environments, mission rehearsal systems, and real-time data-driven analytics platforms critical to naval aviation training modernization.
