Steve Fitz-Gerald, managing director for maritime, land and weapons at QinetiQ, has said that the upgrade effort is intended to boost ETC’s capacity to meet the demand for test activities and accommodate a wider range of tests.

QinetiQ is under a long-term agreement with the U.K. defense ministry to manage MOD Shoeburyness.
