As part of the TERRIER® programme BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies (Insyte) has been awarded a contract to provide TERRIER Training Systems. This contract was won in competition against several other Simulation and Training companies.

The systems enable the training of British Army crews in driving, digging and maintenance of the TERRIER vehicle, providing a comprehensive, cost effective and environmentally friendly approach to training.

Delivery of the contract requirement, valued at approximately J10 million, is due in February 2008. The BAE Systems solution is for three training systems: four mission crew trainers (simulated crew compartments on motion platforms), a remote control trainer and a classroom set of VoRTEX diagnostic emulator workstations. VoRTEX is a software suite that underpins the next generation of virtual reality trainers.

The training systems are key to ensuring the TERRIER programme achieves its In Service Date of the middle of 2008.

Clive Richardson, Managing Director, BAE Systems Integrated System Technologies (Insyte) said: “This contract to provide TERRIER Training Systems further develops BAE Systems’ position in the training domain and enables us to build upon our capabilities already demonstrated through CATT, Desert Warrior and other Land training systems.”
