On May 13, 2016 Pinnacle Solutions, Inc. was awarded the KC-10 Training System (TS) Boom Operator Trainer (BOT) Visual System Replacement (VSR). The BOT VSR is an option of the KC-10 TS base contract with a period of performance through March of 2018. The total option value is approximately $2M. FlightSafety Services Corporation (FSSC) and Q4 are the major subcontractors for the BOT VSR.
