Aerospace and defence engineering firm Meggitt has been awarded two separate contracts, one of which is worth £13m.
Under the multi-million pound deal, the company will supply the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) with a small arms simulator upgrade, known as a Dismounted Close Combat Trainer (DCCT).
The second contract was won by Heatric, a Meggitt group business unit, which has been awarded a contract by Technip to supply 18 printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs) for the Shell Prelude Floating LNG Project, the world's first floating liquefied natural gas facility.

Commenting on the MoD contract, Ronald Vadas, president of Meggitt Training Systems said: "The UK MoD is one of our most important customers for virtual and live fire training systems.
"Meggitt's DCCT has been the UK MoD's primary small arms training system since 2003. Meggitt delivered the first DCCT to the British Army in 1992."
