The deal also covers new laser engagement simulators to enable the use of the latest combat vehicles and weapons in the tactical training process, Rheinmetall said in a statement.

With these expanded capabilities, the centre will be able to train infantry units in mechanised formations.

"The contract requires the company to supply hardware and software components, such as Legatus live simulation technology."

Rheinmetall is supplying 2,000 new Legatus laser transmitter units to the German Army, as well as 1,500 accompanying soldier target sets with laser sensors.
