Meggitt Training Systems has been awarded a US$1.49 million contract from the CASG for more mortar simulators.
Under terms of the contract, Meggitt will manufacture, install, maintain and operate additional 81 mm simulated mortars at multiple locations in Weapon Training Simulation Systems (WTSS) sites.
The 81 mm simulated mortars will be used to train and test mortar men, command post operators, fire controllers and commanders in their duties with regard to mortar operations, tactics, techniques and procedures.
Deliveries connected to this contract will take place at Darwin, (also home to the US Marine Corps’ Rotational Force-Darwin), Perth, and Sydney. They are expected to occur from May to June 2017 with installation to follow shortly thereafter.
