Former UK Chief of Defence Staff, General Lord Guthrie, joins training solutions provider Advanced Interactive Systems (AIS)

General the Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank will advise AIS on a range of security issues affecting the armed forces, including the development of specialist training solutions for frontline military personnel. He will also provide input on training and security issues for other sectors, including aviation, law enforcement, government and emergency response teams.

Charles Guthrie said, ‘In an increasingly dangerous world, it has never been more important to ensure that our frontline armed forces and security personnel are trained to handle any situation. High tech solutions like the live fire PRISim™ training simulator, recently purchased by the UK MoD, will improve the effectiveness of our armed forces by providing close quarter battle, judgemental and counter terrorist weapons training.

At the cutting edge of advanced training solutions, AIS's virtual reality simulator, SVSâ„¢, has major implications for our armed forces, particularly given our future aspirations for integrated soldier technology. I am delighted to join a company that is making such a valuable contribution towards meeting these important defence challenges.'

James Marment, Managing Director of international division AIS Ltd., said: ‘It is an honour for AIS to be able to work with such a distinguished international leader. Lord Guthrie brings with him a wealth of experience which will prove invaluable to our future development.'
