Saab receives Norwegian training simulation order
Saab will supply a dual-simulator vehicle training system to the Norwegian Army under a £12 million contract announced on 29 August. The solution will enhance the Norwegian Army’s training capabilities for live training.
Under the contract, Saab will deliver a new-generation of its Gamer vehicle simulators; a live training concept designed to cover training needs from individual up to and beyond brigade level.
The Norwegian Army’s solution will be based on Saab’s BT46 two-way simulator system. This system, which can be adapted to meet customer requirements, is a two-way simulator that has the ability to simulate the ballistics and time of flight of a projectile in real time, with a high level of precision, and simultaneously give immediate and realistic feedback to the gunner and the target.
Henrik Höjer, head of training and simulation, Saab, said: ‘Norway is an important market for Saab. We will deliver a very advanced military training system for vehicles that will have the best training effect.’
