Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
At this year’s Training and Simulation Industry Symposium (TSIS), held virtually for the first time on 16-18 June due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the USAF laid out its vision for the future use of flight simulators.
Col John Kurian, senior materiel leader from the USAF Simulators Program Office at Wright Patterson AFB, told delegates that the way the USAF uses flight simulators is ‘under review’.
Kurian said that a new modelling and simulation (M&S) governance structure has been established while an M&S steering committee and the position of chief M&S officer have now been established.

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.
