SCOTLAND'S governing sports body has welcomed a move by defence giant BAE Systems to help athletes with advanced technology.
The firm is about to agree a four-year deal with UK Sport worth hundreds of thousands of pounds in a partnership Sportscotland claims will benefit athletes competing in the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
BAE will offer engineering equipment, materials and expertise to a range of sports, although specific projects are yet to be identified.
