Under the contract, Esterline will deliver two visual systems to Eurofighter Typhoon simulator facilities at RAF Lossiemouth, in Scotland, UK, by the end of this year.

The contract will provide air force pilots with high-performance, fidelity visual systems as they prepare for operational deployments worldwide, BAE stated.

BAE Systems campaign delivery director Anthony Gregory said: “The outstanding capability of the display system we have selected from Esterline was a key discriminator in awarding this contract and is vital in ensuring we deliver our training and support requirements to the Royal Air Force.”
