LONDON (Alliance News) - Aerospace and defence engineer Meggitt PLC on Tuesday said it has secured a USD18.0 million contract with the Australian Defence Force.
Under the deal, Meggitt's Training Systems division will develop, manufacture and install 460 EF88 Steyr assault rifle simulators and 115 SL40 40mm simulated grenade launchers on behalf of the Australian Defence Force's Capability Acquisition & Sustainment Group.
The contract deliveries will take place at 18 locations across Australia to support army, navy and air force training requirements, Meggitt said. Deliveries are due to start in late 2017 and continue through to May 2018.
"We have supplied, operated and maintained the ADF's Weapon Training Simulation System since 1999 and this latest weapons simulator award further validates Meggitt's long-standing strategic partnership with the Australian Defence Force," said Chris Jordan, managing director of Meggitt Training Systems in Australia.
