Babcock and Polish Air Force University join forces to modernise training

Babcock and the Polish Air Force University have unveiled plans to use leading edge technology and sensory rich training to prepare military personnel for the fast-changing nature of modern warfare.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed at the Polish Air Force University’s centenary celebrations, includes joint research and development for the armed forces that will provide experiential aviation scenarios within the Babcock Immersive Training Experience (BITE), our state-of-the-art product for speeding up mission readiness.

The agreement leverages our expertise in training needs analysis and experience in delivering military training – ensuring vital in-country skills development to support the Polish Air Force with its missions.

Jo Rayson, Managing Director for Babcock’s Training business, said: “The MoU with Polish Air Force University broadens our partnerships with leading academic institutions in Poland and will facilitate the transfer of unique knowledge and experience between industry and academia in country. We look forward to joining forces to create best in class training solutions.”

Brig. Gen. Pilot PhD. Eng. Krzysztof Cur, Rector – Commandant of Polish Air Force University, added: “The aim of the cooperation is to build even stronger relations between science and industry, which will allow for the full use of experience, knowledge and modern technologies in the aviation sector.”

The partnership further develops our commitment to support the modernisation of the Polish Armed Forces and follows the recent signing of a MoU with Airbus and CAE to offer a comprehensive package of military helicopters and associated training services to the Polish Air Force.
