                               VEGA Group PLC

                 #2.8 MILLION AMOURED VEHICLE TRAINING PROJECT


VEGA awarded #2.8 million contract by Alvis Vickers, for part of the TITAN &
TROJAN Engineer Tank Systems Training Project

VEGA Group PLC ("VEGA") today announces that it has been awarded a #2.8 million
contract by Alvis Vickers Ltd, a major armoured vehicle manufacturer, as part of
the requirement to design, develop and build training simulators for two new
tanks called "TITAN" and "TROJAN".

TITAN and TROJAN are state of the art armoured engineering vehicles. TITAN will
be used to carry and deploy temporary bridges, while TROJAN will be used to
breach obstacles.

VEGA is responsible for developing the training simulators that encompass full
sized physical models of each tank, supported by a desktop environment and
integrated instructor facilities. The system will be driven by innovative
simulation software developed by VEGA and will mirror the real life behaviour
and close working environment of the tanks and their equipment. The system will
be used by UK MOD students, to practice fault diagnosis and experience a wide
range of operating scenarios in a highly realistic but entirely safe training
environment. The system will be used by the UK MOD as an integral part of their
overall training programme for the two vehicles.

VEGA has already commenced initial work on the contract under an Instruction to
Proceed from Alvis Vickers. The training system will be delivered following an
18 month development phase.

Phil Cartmell, Chief Executive VEGA Group PLC, commented; "This contract win
greatly enhances VEGA's presence in land-based vehicle training for the
military. We are delighted to be working with Alvis Vickers."
