Indra Systems, Inc., was awarded the H-60 FAST (Fleet Aircrew Simulator Training) upgrade program on August 10, 2006. The program involves upgrades to US Navy SH-60B, HH/SH-60H/F and MH-60S operational flight trainers, weapons system trainers and weapons tactics trainers.

The Fleet Aircrew Simulator Training (FAST) initiative is a part of NASMP (Navy Aviation Simulator Master Plan) that provides for legacy trainers to receive upgrades in order to address fleet training requirements more appropriately. The goal of FAST is to supply the fleet with tactically relevant, high-fidelity training devices with a high level of interoperability. The primary purpose of these training devices is to instruct Naval Pilots and Airborne Tactical Officers (ATOs), in attaining the flight and tactical skills for full mission employment of the H-60 weapon system.

H-60 missions include Undersea Warfare (USW), Anti-Surface Warfare (SUW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Search and Rescue (SAR), Vertical Replenishment (VERTREP), Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC), and Naval Gunfire Support (NGFS). In addition, the H-60 may serve as a forward sensor platform for RADAR and Electronic Support Measures (ESM), as well as a Communications Relay (COMREL) platform.
