Rheinmetall's LGST, DST systems complete acceptance tests
Rheinmetall's Leopard Gunnery Skills Trainer (LGST) and Driver Training Simulator (DTS) systems have completed factory acceptance tests with the Indonesian Army, the company announced on 22 April.
The completion of acceptance tests comes 15 months after Rheinmetall was awarded the contract worth several million euros to provide driving simulator and gunnery simulator systems for Indonesia's Leopard 2 tanks.
The company developed the LGST and DTS specifically for training Leopard 2A4 tank crews. The simulators also feature Rheinmetall's TacSi technology. These systems will primary target the gunnery and combat skills of commanders, gunners and drivers.
With the success of the acceptance tests, the delivery and installation of the simulators will begin shortly to complete the project on schedule.
