The new order includes Saab’s latest high-fidelity training and simulation systems, designed to replicate combat engagements realistically and provide measurable outcomes. This equipment will integrate with the Ministry of Defence’s existing Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES) system, enhancing the British Army’s capability to review and improve training performance through accurate data collection.
Saab will also deliver training services to optimise the system’s availability and functionality, managing the Exercise Control (ExCon) environment to ensure accurate tracking and analysis of training exercises. Andy Fraser, Group Managing Director at Saab UK, emphasised Saab’s focus on interoperability, stating that the system will support seamless collaboration with the Royal Army of Oman and other international allies.
Simon Pearce, Training and Simulation Systems Portfolio Leader for Defence Equipment & Support, highlighted the strategic importance of the partnership, noting that it reflects the MOD’s commitment to high-quality training aligned with evolving warfare requirements. Saab’s solution can be deployed globally, allowing flexibility for training beyond Oman and ensuring compatibility with NATO standards to support joint operations.
