Featuring the company’s ultramodern TacSi technology, the Leopard Gunnery Skills Trainer (LGST) and Driver Training Simulator (DTS) will primarily be used for sharpening the gunnery and combat skills of commanders, gunners, loaders and drivers.

The Indonesian simulators can be networked to enable tactical training at platoon and company level.

Delivery and installation of simulators is scheduled to commence shortly so as to complete the project in the specified timeframe.
