Elbit Systems UK served as the prime contractor and was tasked with providing a road-legal trailer to serve multiple training sites.

QuantaDyn partnered with Elbit Systems to provide a customised version of their QFires Joint Fires Mobile Trainer (JFMT).

The fully serviced training package enclosed within a versatile 20ft trailer included a trainee station, an instructor / operator station (IOS) and a pilot station console.

In doing so we bring an operationally proven capability and technological edge into the UK, adapting it for use and delivering it together with our local partners.”
