Global technology, engineering, procurement and construction company KBR announced on 24 May that it has been awarded a five year contract by the Royal Australian Navy to provide the training services for the Canberra Class LHDs in Sydney.
In collaboration with the RAN, KBR’s Training Solutions Team will evolve the current LHD transition-into-service training system into a sustainment training system that produces ships’ crew who are qualified and ready to perform their roles the moment they join the ships.
The new RAN training facility in Sydney will use more simulation and emulation in a modern training system, using a blended approach in a contemporary learning environment.
“KBR has a long history of delivering innovative training solutions to defence and government agencies and we are pleased to continue our successful partnership with the Royal Australian Navy,” said Rob Hawketts, Vice President, Government Services Asia Pacific.
KBR delivers major projects and solutions to government, defence, resources and infrastructure clients in Australia and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, with its Government Services APAC business headquartered in Canberra.
