The contract includes support for 41 simulators at six facilities for the next six years.

The simulators cover a broad spectrum of operations and all deployment contexts, including shipboard system maintenance and surface vessel crew training, as well as firing simulators for the Mistral missile, 12.7 mm and 20 mm guns and other weapons.

The systems provide training for French Navy surface vessel crew, including multi-mission frigates, air defence frigates and the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.

The contract covers systems currently in use with the navy and those on order.
