Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
The British Army’s 1st Battalion, The Mercian Regiment, has taken delivery of a new training system designed to enhance training for urban operations.
The Inflatable Walls Training System (IWTS) is in the shape of a temporary urban structure, with modular walls which are completely portable to allow personnel to transport and rapidly build temporary structures wherever it suits the training requirement.
Unlike static structures, the inflatable structure can be easily adapted so that personnel don’t get used to the layout of a particular building. The IWTS delivers a simple but effective replication of urban structures enabling soldiers to learn, develop, master, and sustain the individual and collective skills required for the efficient and effective clearance of complex urban structures.
The IWTS is also compatible and certified for use with Simunition, allowing the army to combine these training aids to optimise training opportunities.
According to the army the IWTS will be rolled out across the Field Army.
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
The company will operate in two new locations in the coming years to better support US services.
This type of tool provides more realistic training easing the incorporation of new scenarios that accurately represent the threats of the battlefield.
The Engineering Corps has been conducting individual instruction using FLAIM Systems’ Sweeper and should start collective deployments in 2025.
The next-generation platform is motion-compatible and can be used in OTW and NVG applications.
The system can be used to prepare soldiers for both drone offensive operations and CUAS missions.
