The program calls for the transformation and modernisation of the shore-based training of the Royal Navy including the establishment of the Future Submarine School.

Martin Fausset, CEO of Elbit Systems UK, said: “The Program will be a pathfinder for the Royal Navy’s transformation agenda, with the introduction of enhanced training capabilities at the forefront of personnel achieving their potential and arriving at the front line quicker. We are proud to be a part of the team to deliver next-generation training capabilities to the Royal Navy, following on the success of the Company’s provision of advanced training capabilities to the British Army and the Royal Air Force.”
