According to the report, UK firm Babcock International and Turkey’s Aselsan will jointly explore options to support the Royal Air Force’s (RAF) future electronic warfare training needs. The agreement focuses on a potential Surface Electronic Warfare Threat training system under the RAF’s Next Generation Operational Training program.
The report stated that the program aims to modernize how UK aircrew train for contested air environments, exposing them to advanced air defense threats without relying solely on live exercises. It said that this reflects the UK’s push to adapt training for high-threat scenarios as potential adversaries field more capable air defense and electronic warfare systems.
The report said that companies will assess whether a jointly developed system could replicate modern Integrated Air Defense Systems, including radar and surface-to-air missile threats. It added that this would allow pilots and mission crews to train against realistic electronic warfare scenarios using scalable, reconfigurable threat simulations.
Additionally, Babcock will draw on its experience delivering military training and operational support to UK forces, while Aselsan contributes its expertise in electronic warfare systems. It also said that there is no timeline, funding details, or specific system configurations were disclosed, and any future capability would remain subject to UK Ministry of Defense requirements and approvals.
