Serco has been awarded two new contracts to supply the Serco-designed General Purpose Support Equipment (GPSE) for the Royal Air Force and the Spanish Air Force.

The work will be undertaken by Serco’s Design, Integration and Test (DIT) team based at Waterlooville, Hampshire, who have been developing support solutions for Typhoon aircraft since 2005.

The Serco designed General Purpose Support Equipment (GPSE) is an Automatic Test System (ATS) built and qualified for use in aircraft support environments. 

Keith Hillas, Interim Managing Director of Serco’s UK defence business, said:

“These new contracts underpin Serco’s growing reputation as a first-class supplier of armament support equipment for modern aircraft. They increase our provision of testing for the Eurofighter and Typhoon fleets across Europe and supports our journey to becoming the favoured supplier of armament support equipment for the Typhoon programme.”
