Under the contract, Meggitt will operate, maintain, install and produce additional 81mm simulated mortars at multiple locations to support the Regular Army Infantry Battalions and Army Reserve Light Batteries.

Deliveries are expected to take place in May 2017 and June 2017 with installation to follow shortly thereafter.
Chris Jordan, managing director, Meggitt Training Systems Australia, said: ‘We have installed, maintained and operated the Weapon Training Simulation Systems in Australia since 1999 and most recently installed Meggitt 81mm mortar simulators at four sites during 2016.’
