Air Systems - Nimrod MRA4
Under a £2bn plus contract awarded by the MOD in July 1996, the Nimrod programme involved the re-engineering and re-build of 18 (originally 21) Nimrod MR2 aircraft to a new standard, known as the Nimrod MRA4 (Maritime, Reconnaissance and Attack), together with training and support packages.
A radical renegotiation of the contract in 2003 resulted in a separation of the design development and production phases.
