Saab
Saab has received a contract modification award from the U.S. Marine Corps for additional Marine Corps Training Instrumentation Systems (MCTIS) equipment. The order value for this award is $37 million with deliveries taking place from 2025 to 2027.
This award ensures the U.S. Marine Corps will continue implementing Saab's deployable and expeditionary MCTIS capability. This advanced, interoperable live training solution helps Marines train in the most realistic environments, significantly improving their performance and survivability on the battlefield.
The system focuses on developing and reinforcing effective tactics, techniques and procedures, while also facilitating joint training with NATO allies during multinational exercises.
"We're honored the U.S. Marine Corps continues to rely on us as their training partner for the next generation of Marine warfighters," says Erik Smith, President and CEO of Saab in the U.S. "Our training capability enhances combat readiness by immersing Marines in realistic scenarios and rigorously analyzing their decision-making and actions, ultimately delivering on the objective of saving American lives. We take pride in providing the premier interoperable, land-based live training capability in the world."
Saab's collaboration with the U.S. Marine Corps began with a contract awarded in June 2021, marking the transition from the previous Instrumentation and Tactical Engagement Simulation System II (ITESS - II) to the MCTIS training system.
