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