Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
Elbit Systems is working on a common Synthetic Natural Environment (SNE) solution that will allow two air training simulators in remote locations to be linked via a secure cloud-based simulation environment.
The work leverages a project during which two different types of simulators were linked using cloud-based services. This project demonstrated the ability to link different training devices within the same synthetic environment and highlighted the utility of next generation cloud-based simulation.
The current capability allows a ‘commonality of services’ where connected trainers use common services and standard protocols to consume services from the secure cloud by designing the simulation federation environment.
In a recent demonstration, two devices located more than 50km apart were able to interact within the private cloud based synthetic environment in real time, in addition to a role player station that enabled a man in the loop. The networked simulation devices flew simultaneously to perform the components of air missions that would take place within the SkyBreaker Mission Training Centre.
Under the next phase of the development programme, the company plans to incorporate current platform cockpits at the Mission Training Centre.
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.
