The Victrix system features an intelligent tactical environment that enables virtual reproduction of common mission situations, such as advancing through a street in a hostile urban environment, on a large screen.
The simulator allows soldiers to use their own weapons, such as the Spanish Armed Forces’ H&K G36 assault rifle, adapted with a laser and a compressed air system to simulate recoil.
The simulators are designed to conduct various agility and precision exercises, such as those undertaken at a shooting range.
They have been upgraded to simulate the use of a new combat firearm, and feature new exercises for optimising equipment consumption.
