Meggitt Training Systems, part of Meggitt Defense Systems, provides Training Systems and Defense Systems used by militaries and law enforcement and security agencies around the world. We develop, manufacture, market and service high quality virtual training capabilities and live fire training systems. In 2007, following the acquisition of FATS by Meggitt, the global aerospace, defense, and sensors corporation --and publicly on the London Stock Exchange (symbol MGGT) -- FATS and what was previously known as Meggitt Defense Systems Caswell--the global specialists in stationary and mobile ground target systems for small arms and armor training--combined capabilities and integrated personnel and facilities to form Meggitt Training Systems. This allows the company to provide turnkey, full spectrum virtual through live training capabilities and complete mission planning and situational awareness tools.

Meggitt Training Systems employs more than 600 people at its headquarters in Atlanta and at facilities in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. We are the leading worldwide producer of interactive simulation systems designed to provide training in the handling and use of small and supporting arms.

Customer satisfaction is a primary objective at Meggitt Training Systems, including a commitment to after sales assistance and support. Product warranties supported by a customer hotline ensure that the system will be backed throughout the product life cycle. The company has the ability to deploy service personnel for instructor training seminars, system installations, and software updates anywhere in the world.

We maintain contact with users to encourage feedback on how to improve system performance, realism and functional capability. This feedback network continuously benefits new users as design, software, scenario filming, and production techniques improve. Company policy is to design moderately priced expansion options to allow in-use systems to keep pace with advancements in simulation technology and new weaponry.

From small arms to close air support, the Meggitt Training Systems technological base spans the world of virtual training. Our commitment to research and development ensures that customers receive the latest technology tailored to meet their training needs. For example, we were the first company to introduce wireless BlueFire® firearms that utilize Bluetooth® technology to communicate with system hardware while maintaining accurate weight, balance, recoil and real-time diagnostics.

Meggitt Training Systems is a key element of the Meggitt Defense Systems business unit, which designs, develops, and manufactures integrated virtual and live fire training capabilities; free-flying, towed and glide aerial targets; unmanned vehicles; electronic scoring; medium and large caliber linear linkless and compact autoloading ammunition handling systems; environmental control systems; pods; countermeasure systems; and ruggedized fiber optic cable.
