SUWANEE, Ga. --(Business Wire)--

Meggitt Training Systems, the leading supplier of integrated live fire and virtual weapons training systems, will join defense agencies and personnel from Australia, Asia and the Indo-Pacific region to demonstrate and discuss the latest in next generation simulation training systems at Land Forces 2014 in Brisbane, Australia, 22-25 September.

"For many years Meggitt Training Systems and its predecessors, Firearms Training Systems (FATS®) and Caswell Technologies, have been providing live fire and virtual training systems to Defence Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies throughout the Asia Pacific region," said Leon Helmrich, Sales and Business Development Manager for Meggitt Training Systems Australia.

Configured with the FATS® M00, Meggitt Training Systems will provide private demonstrations of convertible, fully-sensored, tetherless BlueFire® simulators; 3D Marksmanship training mode and HD video courseware; a new wireless, tablet-based training tool; and automatic coaching tools.
