French warship defence simulators set for upgrade
DCNS and RUAG Defence subsidiary GAVAP are to perform work to upgrade and maintain the Warship Onsight Defense Simulators of the French Navy, it was announced on 8 May. DCNS will act as prime contractor for the work, with GAVAP as co-contractor.
The project, named Simulateur de Défense à Vue (SIMDAV), will allow warship line-of-sight defence crews to train in self-defence and asymmetric combat scenarios.
The contract includes the overhaul and modernisation of the MILDAV simulator in Toulon and CESART simulator in Brest, and a five-year maintenance period.
The work will enhance the self-defence crew’s preparedness levels against air and surface threats, and their handling of small to medium caliber weapons including non-lethal weapons. It will also allow the chain of command’s efficiency and weapon’s operations to be precisely evaluated in a simulated environment of the Navy’s Task Force.
Within the SIMDAV project, GAVAP's scope of activities will include the development and production of weapons and targeting components, as well as audio simulation.
