Meggitt Training Systems has received a contract from the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to provide hardware and software upgrades to 18 weapon training simulation systems (WTSS) facilities in Australia.

This US$18 million contract includes development and supply of simulators for 52-81mm mortars; 14-upgraded 0.50 cal heavy machine guns; new BlueFire Browning pistols; and an 84mm Carl Gustav anti-tank weapon with new ammunition natures.

The contractor is also responsible for adding mortar crew and collective training to the existing training capabilities of individual marksmanship trainer (IMT).

The networked WTSS help the ADF to train within virtual environments, by eliminating logistical burden and costs associated.

Meggitt is in the final phase for the delivery of the HNA/ELF Phase 2 program.

The current contract was awarded in December 2013, under the Hardened & Networked Army (HNA) and Enhanced Land Force (ELF) Phase 3 program.
