RUAG Electronics - Training and Simulation for Land Forces

RUAG Electronics has a long history of supplying high-quality electronics, communications and optics solutions for the armed forces. Specialising in the field of training and simulation, RUAG Electronics' simulation and training division offers a range of products extending from computer-based training programmes, through full-mission simulators and one and two-way laser-based tactical engagement simulators, up to scaleable, fully-integrated synthetic training environments for force-on-force exercises.

RUAG, responsible for the maintenance of most simulators used by the Swiss Army, has also developed a computer-based diagnostics program that can be tailored to support virtually any complex electronics system.

SIMULATION AND TRAINING DIVISION CAPABILITIES

RUAG Electronics' simulation and training division is one of the world's top providers for live simulation systems, and for decades has been the Swiss Armed Forces' preferred partner in the field of simulation and training.

To support this partnership RUAG has built up a capability in all aspects of military training, from the development of a training concept, through to the delivery of turnkey systems operated and maintained by RUAG personnel.

COMPUTER-BASED MILITARY TRAINING

RUAG has delivered courseware for a wide variety of subjects. Among the latest is a series of multilingual programmes supporting the operation and maintenance of Switzerland's new combat net radio (Thomson-CSF's TRC 9200-2).

PART-TASK MILITARY TRAINERS

Driver, gunnery and maintenance trainers, radio mock-ups for operator training and the PC-7 flight simulator are a few examples of RUAG's part-task trainers.

FULL-MISSION TRAINERS

RUAG's expertise extends to advanced full-mission simulators with and without Computer-Generated Forces (CGF). A BMP-3 tactical simulator up to squadron level and a Howitzer crew trainer are examples of delivered systems. The latter, in service with the Swiss Army, permits realistic exercises involving a single turret crew or even a complete battery (with or without fire direction centre).

Training covers all common tactical and firing procedures, such as direct and indirect firing, and is extremely cost-effective.

TES (TACTICAL ENGAGEMENT SIMULATORS) FOR COSIM SIMULATORS

RUAG offers a complete family of one and two-way laser-based Tactical Engagement Simulators (TES) for direct fire and indirect-fire weapons. These TES simulators can be used as stand-alone systems, and can also be integrated within a scalable collective-training environment for urban combat (MOUT) or combined arms force-on-force training.

COSIM PE – MANWORN TACTICAL SIMULATION SYSTEM

COSIM PE represents the next evolution of manworn laser Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES) technology, providing armed forces and police units with a comprehensive and very-accurate training capability for all aspects of today's conflicts (e.g., 'Three Block War'). It enables great training flexibility through the ability to modify and expand system parameters to meet different requirements.

CODARTS COMBAT TRAINING CENTRE

The CODARTS™ includes a number of unique technologies designed to overcome the weaknesses associated with first-generation instrumented weapons effect simulation systems. Examples of these technologies include GPS-independent location determination, realistic battlefield representation of indirect fire and the Target Discrimination System (TDS).

Thanks to the CODARTS' advanced data processing and communications techniques, a full exercise can typically be conducted by two or three operators. This dramatically reduces the overall cost of training, and also enables RUAG to offer a fully-transportable combat training centre.

CODARTS is a trademark of RUAG Electronics and RUAG COEL.

COMBAT TRAINING FOR MOUT URBAN OPERATIONS

With RUAG's Military Operation in Urban Terrain (MOUT) urban operations training system, armed forces can be prepared efficiently for deployment in urban terrain. The MOUT system ensures the interaction of all weapons and buildings used in a MOUT environment. The integrated positional tracking system is independent of GPS, allowing combat inside buildings to be monitored and recorded.
