Indra has received a contract from the Spanish Ministry of Defence (MoD) to supply additional Victrix shooting simulators for installation at various barracks and bases of the national army.

The simulators are scheduled to be installed at the General Morillo Base in Pontevedra, the General Gabeiras Barracks in Málaga, the Santa Bárbara Barracks in Murcia, the San Bernardo Barracks in Huesca, the Puerto Rosario Barracks in Fuerteventura, the Hoya Fría Barracks in Tenerife, as well as the General Almirante Barracks de Valencia, Spain.
The Victrix system features an intelligent tactical environment that enables virtual reproduction of common situations faced by forces involved in international missions, such as advancing through a street in a hostile urban environment on a large screen.
Additional scenarios generated by the simulator include establishment of a control point in a city or a joint operation with forces from another country, enabling operators to learn to react properly, and distinguish between dangerous and harmless situations.
The simulator allows soldiers to use their own physical weapon, such as the Spanish Armed Forces’ H&K G36 assault rifle or other standard weapons, adapting it with a laser and a compressed air system that reproduces the recoil effect, for optimal realism.
