The US Navy (USN) awarded Leonardo DRS contracts worth about USD1 billion, when fully funded, to provide the integrated electric propulsion components for Columbia-class strategic submarines, the company confirmed on 4 April during the Navy League Sea-Air-Space 2023 Global Maritime Exposition in National Harbor, Maryland, which started on 3 April.
The British Army will now benefit from Elbit Systems UK’s upgraded simulation system: the Interim Combined Arms Virtual Simulation (Deployable) (ICAVS(D)).
