Elbit Systems will provide driving simulators for various tracked and wheeled armored vehicles and an advanced gunnery and tactical simulator.

HAIFA, ISRAEL (BNS): Elbit Systems Ltd. has won a $32.7 million contract to supply an Asian army with advanced training systems for its armour and infantry forces. The project will be performed over the next three years.

The company will provide driving simulators for various armoured vehicles (tracked and wheeled), and an advanced gunnery and tactical simulator.

"This is a follow-on contract to a previous project that was successfully delivered to this customer, attesting to the satisfaction and belief in our advanced training and simulation capabilities," Yoram Shmuely, Co-General Manager of Elbit Systems' Aerospace Division, was quoted as saying in the company news release.

The flexibility of the solution allows training from the individual soldier's level to tactical teams and even higher hierarchies. The trainees also can configure the training session to match any combat scenario.

The users can reconfigure the systems with any combination of turrets they desire. Additional unique capabilities include a smart scenario generator and large training areas at extremely high resolution for both open and urban terrains.
