Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) presented the Air Force Museum Foundation, Inc. with a $10,000 donation to support the expansion of the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The new LEED Silver certified building will feature four galleries: Presidential Aircraft, Space, Global Reach, and Research and Development.

"We are extremely grateful to MTSI for supporting the expansion of this national treasure," said Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Richard V. Reynolds, Chairman of the Air Force Museum Foundation's Board of Managers. "The fourth building is vital to further expand facilities to tell the Air Force story, to provide greater public understanding and appreciation for the Air Force's role as an integrated air, space and cyberspace force and provide new science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning opportunities for America's youth. MTSI's generous donation will have a positive impact for many generations to come, and we are proud to recognize them for that."

Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. provides leading edge technical services in unmanned systems, ballistic missile defense, air vehicle survivability, flight test operations and systems engineering. Formed in 1993 MTSI has over 500 employees and operations at nine U.S. locations.

"It is critically important that the past and current accomplishments of the U.S. Air Force be told to the public," said Phil Soucy, MTSI co-founder and CEO. "The Museum also plays an important role in motivating young men and women to pursue careers in the U.S. Air Force, aviation, engineering or the sciences. We are extremely pleased and proud to be able to support the National Museum of the United States Air Force,"

Current plans call for the construction contract to be awarded in late 2013, construction to begin in 2014 and the building to be initially opened in 2015. At that time, the museum will continue to populate the new building until all exhibits are completed.
