Saab’s Continued Support for Marine Corps Training
Saab’s collaboration with the U.S. Marine Corps began with a contract awarded in June 2021, which marked the transition from the previous Instrumentation and Tactical Engagement Simulation System II (ITESS-II) to the MCTIS training system. This ongoing partnership underscores Saab’s expertise in delivering advanced training solutions that enhance Marine Corps operational effectiveness.
The additional MCTIS equipment will further support the Marine Corps’ training infrastructure, ensuring that Marines are equipped with the skills and experience needed to succeed in modern combat environments.
