Elbit Systems recently announced that the company’s British subsidiary, Elbit Systems UK, have been awarded a contract valued at approximately £123 million from the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The contract – which will be performed by the company over a 12-year period – is for the Royal Navy Future Naval Training Program as part of the Fisher consortium led by Capita.
The Royal Navy Future Naval Training Program calls for the modernisation and transformation of the shore-based training of the Royal Navy – this includes the establishment of the Future Submarine School.

Moreover, they will modernise and manage legacy synthetic training systems across the Royal Navy. The company will provide new training technologies which aim to improve Defence Operational Training Capability while facilitating availability and efficiency of legacy capabilities.
Martin Fausset, CEO of Elbit Systems UK, remarked: “The Program will be a pathfinder for the Royal Navy’s transformation agenda, with the introduction of enhanced training capabilities at the forefront of personnel achieving their potential and arriving at the front line quicker.
“We are proud to be a part of the team to deliver next-generation training capabilities to the Royal Navy, following on the success of the Company’s provision of advanced training capabilities to the British Army and the Royal Air Force.”
