"Fujitsu were professional and precise in their approach as well as being very flexible – when we needed extra equipment it arrived promptly and was installed within days."

The customer

Formed in 1918 in response to the First World War, the UK’s Royal Air Force (RAF) is the aerial warfare service branch of the British Armed Forces and the oldest independent air force in the world. Its objective is to support the Ministry of Defence in ensuring the security of the UK and its overseas territories. RAF St Mawgan in Cornwall is currently home to the Tri-Service Defence Survival Training Organisation, which teaches ‘Survive, Evade, Resist, Extract’ methods in support of operations and training.

The challenge

Rather than finance personnel overseas on Survival and Extraction Planning courses, the DSTO wanted to recreate the experience at St Mawgan. It therefore needed to equip its new training centre with the necessary hardware.

The solution

Following a detailed procurement process, Fujitsu was selected by RAF St Mawgan based on the detailed and comprehensive portfolio meeting the demands laid out.

The benefit

Fujitsu’s attention to detail enabled the installation to take place in two weeks, meeting necessary deadlines
Met cost, reliability and performance specifications, supporting the range of specialist military applications
Comprehensive support guarantees next day service, minimising disruption
Up to 20 trainees per course can now be equipped with crucial skills to be used in the field
