Project Ajax

Our team of Defence Sector experts have proudly delivered the new state-of-the-art facility for the Armoured Cavalry Programme (Ajax) at Allenby Barracks, Bovington.

Working alongside the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), this project, which was procured via the CCS Framework, provides a purpose-built facility aimed at enhancing the simulation training available at the Combat Manoeuvre Centre, Bovington.

This project comprises three state-of-the-art facilities.

The ground floor is dedicated to advanced vehicle simulation and training, improving Ajax training capabilities. It features a cutting-edge suite of simulators, including three Desk Top Trainers, six Enhanced Procedural Driver Trainers, three Full Motion Driver Trainer Simulators, three Crew Turret Trainers, and four Small Arms Drill Trainers. These immersive training tools provide Ajax users with hands-on experience in a controlled environment, refining their skills for real-world operations.

The first-floor houses modern classrooms and administration spaces, fostering a structured environment that supports practical training for Military Personnel.

The Vehicle Instruction Shed (VIS) is a robust steel-framed single-story structure designed for direct vehicle access and hands-on training activities. This space enables Military personnel to train in a realistic setting, bridging the gap between simulation-based learning and practical learning.

Richard Poulter, Managing Director of our South office, commented:

“We are extremely proud to be working collaboratively with the DIO to help deliver this stand-out building providing a home for the British Army's new armoured fighting vehicle, Ajax. This purpose-built facility will enhance both simulation and real-world training for Military Personnel. This project strengthens our growing portfolio of work within the Defence Sector.”

The successful completion of this project further strengthens our track record within the Defence Sector, including the delivery of the prestigious new flagship facility for Army Musicians at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

Our longstanding partnerships within the Defence sector provides us with invaluable experience, strategic insights, and specialised expertise- qualities we bring to every new project. Our commitment to continuous learning and development ensures we consistently deliver excellence in this field.
