“With today’s fast-changing threat environment, it’s crucial that we equip our forces—and those of our NATO allies—with the most advanced and responsive training available,” said Gillian Dowds, head of Training Transformation Services at Raytheon UK. “Our extended partnership with the British Army allows us to continue developing capabilities that transform how military training is delivered.”
