The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has awarded a contract extension to Lockheed Martin to continue its support for the Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (CATT) based at the Land Warfare Centre in Warminster, the company announced on 16 September. 

CATT provides the British Army with a high-fidelity, realistic synthetic environment that supports collective training from individual crew through to brigade level.

The contract will see Lockheed Martin provide new training content and scenarios for the CATT until 2018. BAE Systems will also provide support services for the contract.

Jim Weitzel, vice president of training solutions, Lockheed Martin, said: ‘Since the inception of the UK CATT programme in 2001, we’ve helped the British Army prepare more than 100,000 service members to accomplish their operations. Extending these capabilities into the CATT programme will boost complexity and realism, making it the most demanding and intensive ground training system personnel can use to ensure they are mission-ready.’
