Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
The Heli-Union Training Center (HUTC) has certified its Entrol H135 T2+ FTD Level 2 simulator, expanding its helicopter simulator training programmes.
The simulator includes a spherical visual and a vibration system that enables pilots to experience real effects in the cockpit such us vortex ring, turbulence or ground contact.
The simulator has 3-axis autopilot, ACAS, weather radar and dual GTN 750 to provide performance-based navigation training. Another key feature is the high resolution database of the southwest of France and Angoulême, with satellite imagery, oil rigs, boats, detailed mountain areas and hospitals.
Herv Maugis, deputy Director of HUTC, said: ‘We are very happy with our decision to contract Entrol for the development of our simulator which is becoming a key factor in our business development.
‘We are convinced that the FTDs are going to be the perfect tool for training light or even medium-size helicopters.’
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.
