Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
Mahindra Defence Systems and Boeing have jointly opened a centre in Gurgaon, Haryana in India, to provide training services for the Indian Air Force (IAF) C-17 military transport aircraft, Boeing announced on 8 July.
The new centre is located at the Flight Simulation Technique Centre in Gurgaon. Boeing developed the centre with Mahindra Defence Systems as part of efforts to support the government's 'Make in India' initiative.
Once fully operational, the centre will be able to conduct local and multi-site training simulations for aircrew operators of the ten C-17 military transport aircraft delivered to India by Boeing in 2013-2014.
The centre has a complete training solution for loadmasters and pilots, including computer-based training, courseware and simulation for all tasks required for humanitarian and military airlift operations, including emergency procedures and aerial refuelling.
The facility has loadmaster station and weapons system trainers that can be individually used or networked for complete missions. The flight deck on the simulator supports night vision goggles.
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.
