Esterline Will Deliver The Systems To The RAF In Scotland By Year's End
A contract worth more than a million Euros will provide advanced Eurofighter Typhoon simulator visual systems to the Royal Air Force. BAE Systems has awarded the contract to Esterline, based in Kortrijk, Belgium, further strengthening a relationship spanning more than 10 years on Typhoon synthetic training systems.
Esterline will deliver two ultra-modern visual systems into the Eurofighter Typhoon simulator facilities at RAF Lossiemouth, in Scotland, UK, by the end of this year. The new systems will provide air force pilots with high performance, high fidelity visual systems as they prepare for operational deployments around the globe.
Esterline has previously been contracted to supply simulation equipment to aid both Eurofighter Typhoon and Hawk fast jet trainer pilot training.
“The outstanding capability of the display system we have selected from Esterline was a key discriminator in awarding this contract and is vital in ensuring we deliver our training and support requirements to the Royal Air Force,” said Anthony Gregory, Campaign Delivery Director at BAE Systems.
“We have enjoyed a fruitful business relationship that has been successful for both BAE Systems and Esterline," said Peter De Meerleer, Vice President Strategic Marketing for Esterline. "We are very pleased with this new contract award including the selection of further TREALITY SEER full-flight visual display systems which is proof of BAE Systems’ confidence in Esterline Simulation Visual Systems. Esterline continues to lead the way with high-performing yet cost effective visual display solutions for simulation.”
BAE Systems is supporting the UK Government in offering the Eurofighter Typhoon as an advanced, multi-role combat aircraft solution to Belgium as part of the Air Combat Capability (ACCap) program.
