According to CAAT, “Babcock International is the world’s 26th largest arms-producing/military services company, with 59% of its turnover being military. Babcock applied for arms export licences to Israel in 2010 and 2012 (see Note below) and has relationships with Israeli arms companies: along with partner Lockheed Martin it has selected a consortium of Elbit Systems and KBR as preferred bidder to replace the bulk of the programme’s training aircraft (Defense News, 24.10.2014); it has collaborated with Rafael on a torpedo decoy for submarines (Torbuster), which it exhibited at the DSEi 2011 arms fair (Rafael website).”
