By GlobalDataBAE Systems and Pitch Technologies UK will work with the British Army to supply a new virtual training programme.
The collaboration will work on outlining the technical assurance requirements for synthetic warfare training systems.
These systems use virtual environments to provide realism, allowing armed forces to create different battlefield scenarios and locations, and enabling them to train anywhere across the globe, as and when required.
According to BAE Systems, such systems are less expensive and have lower overhead costs while offering a wide range of training opportunities to military personnel.
The two companies will leverage their experience and expertise related to training and simulation solutions. They will act as the army’s advisor and provide technical advice to build and acquire future training systems.
The contract will support over ten highly skilled jobs in southern England and create a minimum of three new roles within the UK SME supply chain.
Last year, QinetiQ, KBR, and PA Consulting partnered to compete for the CTTP project.
