Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
Indra has been contracted by Airbus Defence and Space to develop a tactical integrated procedures trainer (IPT) for pilots who will operate the A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft, the company announced on 16 October.
The system is being designed to train pilots on the systems of the A330 MRTT. Pilots are expected to pass a mandatory training period before taking control of the real aircraft, which requires the completion of a number of flight hours on simulators and trainers.
The simulator will enable training on procedures for unusual situations which are impossible to reproduce using a real plane, such as engine failure, stall of the aircraft, or emergency landings.
The trainer replicates the cockpit's instrument panel with the help of touchscreens resulting in reduction of costs and reducing the need to use real equipment.
Indra's IPT may be connected to partial training systems used by boom operators for refuelling training on the A330 MRTT, allowing pilots to train in coordination with boom operators and with the crew of the aircraft being refuelled.
First system delivery is scheduled for 2019.

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.
