RUAG Defence has been awarded a contract from the Swiss Federal Office for Defence Procurement to continue operating the Swiss armed forces' combat training centres for the next five years, it announced on 3 March.

The contract follows a competitive bidding process, and will see the company continue to provide management, operation of the centres' simulation platforms, technical services, logistics, infrastructure and property services.

The combat training centres feature vehicles, MOUT infrastructure and simulation systems that allow soldiers to 'train-as-you-fight' in preparation for future deployments.
