GD UK C4I Systems vice-president Andrew Browne said, “This contract secures the future of Bowman for UK armed forces and ensures significant cost savings for the MoD and taxpayers.
“It also ensures that the user gets the latest capability rapidly, easily and effectively, and that the UK maintains an important sovereign core capability and skills base,” he added.
The BCIP 5.4 capability, delivered earlier this year, provides enhanced battle planning, a stable and robust tactical internet and improved situational awareness.
