Train as you engage – Tailored training solutions from KNDS
Training with realistic simulations from individual soldier to battalion levels in key areas of driving instruction, gunnery, combat, and tactical training, as well as maintenance instruction. Virtual and augmented reality training programs are already installed for the armed forces we equip:
We hold a significant position in equipping large training centers, such as for the armed forces in Qatar and Hungary, where integrated training for PzH2000 and LEOPARD 2 takes place. Similarly, the Swedish training center has been utilizing the KNDS Simulation Suite Generation 3 since 2014, which is set to receive an upgrade in the coming years with the latest product generation.
The MRCT, an augmented reality training platform for artillery units, has recently been commissioned by France, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic.
