Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Greece are all set to receive naval training systems through the US FMS initiative.

US Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) used the recent Training & Simulation Industry Symposium in Orlando to highlight key FMS programmes for the navies of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Greece.

Aida Lopez, director of the NAVAIR International Programs Office (IPO), discussed four key surface warfare training requirements.

The Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF) is currently in the process of procuring training systems to support the four Multi-Mission Surface Combatants (MMSC) that are being supplied by Lockheed Martin. According to Shephard Defence Insight, the first ship will be delivered in 2023.
