WINTER PARK, Fla. (AP) - The U.S. Navy signed a $3 billion contract Wednesday with a Spanish information technology firm that will provide equipment for aircraft and helicopter training simulators for U.S. pilots.

Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar of Spain witnessed the signing of the agreement between Indra and the Naval Air Systems Command. Indra's slice of the contract should amount to between $100 million and $150 million over eight years, said Robert Fink, president and CEO of Indra's Orlando-based subsidiary.

The contract could create 62 new jobs, allowing Indra to increase its work force in central Florida to 120 over two years.

"You are helping us become the company we want to be," Javier Monzon, the company's president, said at a signing ceremony. (snip/...)
