“Osiris makes inter-disciplinary models possible that enable the depiction of training for all three branches of the military at tactical and operational levels.”

As required by the Swiss procurement authorities, Osiris software is designed to ensure optimal automatisation. This reduces the number of operating personnel needed to run the system.

The company will also establish a ‘material excellence centre’ to maintain the system throughout its service life.

In a statement, Rheinmetall said: “Osiris makes inter-disciplinary models possible that enable the depiction of training for all three branches of the military at tactical and operational levels, whether on land, at sea and in the air, including related capabilities.”

Based on the country’s real-world requirements and operational planning, the simulator is designed to help create ‘realistic leadership scenarios’ such as disaster relief, national defence and peacekeeping missions.

With automated control possible from individuals to the brigade level, the command simulator can be used at various hierarchy levels of the military.
