It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Thales Group.[2] HistoryThe origins of the company date back to the incorporation of Redifon in the United Kingdom in 1946.[2][3] In 1948, the company moved to the then new town of Crawley in West Sussex. In 1981, the parent company British Electric Traction changed the company name to Rediffusion Simulation Limited (RSL) to take advantage of the then familiar Rediffusion brand name. In 1988, the company was bought by Hughes Aircraft and renamed Hughes Rediffusion Simulation (HRSL). In 1994, the company was taken over by Thomson-CSF, who merged it with Link Miles (acquired by Thomson-CSF in 1990) and renamed the company Thomson Training & Simulation (TTSL). The merged companies were based at the Manor Royal site at Crawley. In 1998, the simulation business of Wormald Technology of Australia was bought and renamed Thales Training & Simulation Pty Ltd (TTSP). In the United States, Burtek, bought in 1979 by Thomson-CSF, was renamed Thomson Training & Simulation Inc. At the end of 2000, the company was renamed Thales Training & Simulation (TTS) when the parent company re-branded using the Thales name. Thales sold its civilian fixed-wing simulation business to L-3 Link Simulation & Training UK in August 2012.[3][4] The purchase included part of the TTS Crawley plant, but not Thales' military rotary-wing (helicopter) simulation business.[5] OperationsThales Training & Simulation has four main manufacturing plants:
