Elbit Systems UK has been awarded a contract by the UK Ministry of Defence to develop and provide artillery and mortar training simulators. 

The Interim Indirect Fire Simulation (IIDFS) will be provided to the Royal School of Artillery (RSA) at Larkhill, the Combined Arms Manoeuvre School (CAMS) at Warminster, and the Collective Training Group (CTG) at training locations in the UK and abroad.

These simulators will be developed, produced and integrated by Elbit Systems for the British Army’s 81mm mortars and 105mm Light Gun, providing simulated ammunition and a unique, high technology interface for live communication between instructors and military personnel. 

Supported by Elbit Systems UK’s unique open architecture the systems will allow for simultaneous individual and collective training of military personnel. Elbit Systems UK will also provide ongoing training and technical support throughout the three-year programme.

This contract awarded by the UK Ministry of Defence builds on Elbit Systems UK’s existing array of advanced training and simulation systems deployed to the British Army. 

It will also leverage the experience of its subcontractor, Van Halteren Technologies, from the Netherlands, who have already delivered similar systems globally. The contract will create and sustain jobs across Elbit Systems UK sites, and its supply chain.

Martin Fausset, CEO of Elbit Systems UK, said, “The wide range of Elbit Systems UK’s innovative training solutions in use with the British Armed Forces is testament to our ongoing commitment to research, spiral development and the transfer of advanced technological capabilities. We continue to develop and adapt advanced training solutions to provide UK service personnel with the best possible preparation for the range of threats they face today.”
