Saab has signed a GBP 20 million (SEK 270 million) amendment to the Instrumented Live Training (ILT-D) contract signed in April 2024 with the UK Ministry of Defence. 

The amendment will deliver equipment and training support services for British Army training in Oman. Deliveries will take place 2024-2025.  

The order includes Saab’s latest training and simulation equipment, including a high-fidelity system which realistically and accurately replicates training engagements and ensures the activity is measurable and can be used to review and enhance training outcomes. 

The solution will operate as part of the MOD’s existing Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES) capability. Saab technicians will also provide training services to ensure availability and performance at all stages. 

In addition to this, Saab will manage the Exercise Control (ExCon) environment including the captured data to support objective measurement of the training. The British Army’s system can be deployed globally, offering the flexibility to support training outside of Oman. Saab’s live simulation equipment integrates with other systems that use the applicable NATO standards.

Andy Fraser, Group Managing Director, Saab UK, said, “We are pleased to continue our long-standing support to the British Army’s training systems in the UK as well as internationally. 

“Interoperability is at the heart of Saab’s training and simulation solutions, and this contract will enable seamless cooperation with the Royal Army of Oman and other key international allies and partners.”

Simon Pearce, Training and Simulation Systems Portfolio Leader for Defence Equipment & Support, the contracting authority, commented, “This significant contract amendment further solidifies the strong partnership between the British Army, the Royal Army of Oman, and Saab. 

“It demonstrates our commitment to providing first-rate training for our forces, aligning with the evolving nature of warfare and the Collective Training Transformation Programme.”
