Teen solves centuries-old math problem
HAIFA, Israel, May 18 (UPI) -- Israel's Elbit Systems reports it will provide advanced training systems for the armored and infantry forces of an unidentified Asian country.
The three-year, $32.7 million training project comprises driving simulators for various tracked and wheeled armored vehicles and an advanced gunnery and tactical simulator.
The flexibility of the configurable solution allows training from the individual soldier's level to tactical teams and above.
Elbit said that to maximize cost effectiveness, the system is designed to reuse as many of the components as possible by applying a "roll in/roll out" concept to both the gunnery as well as the driving simulators. Users are able to reconfigure the systems with any combination of turrets.
Additional unique capabilities of the systems to be provided include a smart scenario generator and large training areas at extremely high resolution for both open and urban terrains.
"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," said Yoram Shmuely, co-general manager of Elbit Systems' Aerospace Division. "This award reinforces Elbit Systems' position as a world leading supplier of advanced training systems."
