Saab extends British Army Counter-IED training
This extension will ensure that UK military personnel continue to receive the very best C-IED live training capabilities in the UK and abroad. By closely simulating IED events in training, individuals and groups can better react and detect the IED. This extension clearly demonstrates the confidence the UK MoD has in Saab in supporting this life saving training and evaluation.
Henrik Höjer Managing Director Saab Training & Simulation said: “It is extremely rewarding to be able to provide training that helps saving lives of men and woman working in a very complex environment. We are also glad to see that more countries are interested in following the example of the UK MoD to provide the best tools possible for the soldiers to perform a dangerous job in the safest possible way.”
Since November 2010 Saab has supported C-IED training for all UK personnel deploying on operations in Afghanistan. In addition Saab provides instrumented live simulation for UK MoD training exercises in Kenya, Canada and the UK mainland.
