Rheinmetall is collaborating with Lockheed Martin in pursuit of the Canadian Army’s Land Vehicle Crew Training System (LVCTS) initiative. Rheinmetall Canada will spearhead a collaboration that encompasses Lockheed Martin Canada, Rheinmetall Electronics from Bremen, Germany, and Lockheed Martin Training and Logistics Solutions based in Orlando, Florida. In partnership with its allies, Rheinmetall Canada aims to provide the Canadian Army with a solution for the LVTCS project that is advanced, adaptable, and economical, while ensuring significant economic advantages for Canada.
The LVCTS solution will empower the Canadian Army to execute progressive training at the individual, crew, platoon, and higher command levels employing high- to medium-fidelity reconfigurable trainers, alongside standard trainee workstations integrated within a dynamic virtual environment and an all-encompassing instruction system. The software will be universally applicable across all training levels and crafted to create increasingly tough scenarios, including authentically simulating diverse terrain types, weather circumstances, capabilities, and tactics. The teaching system will assess crews against a doctrinal standard at every complexity level. Individual Crew Training Systems (CTSs) will be interconnected through the Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) protocol and High-Level Architecture (HLA) gateways to facilitate section, platoon, or higher command level training. The system will also come equipped with a learning management system that enables customization of training scenarios, monitoring of trainee advancement, and post-action evaluation.
As Pietro Mazzei, Vice-President of Rheinmetall Canada, remarks, “This collaboration merges two of the globe’s foremost suppliers of military training solutions to deliver the Canadian Army with the most innovative modular system. Rheinmetall and Lockheed Martin have formidable global reputations for providing and supporting state-of-the-art systems for precision gunnery and crew task training. We are eager to bring this expertise to the Canadian Army.”
“Lockheed Martin Canada takes pride in collaborating with Rheinmetall on an LVCTS solution for the Canadian Army,” states Lorraine Ben, CEO of Lockheed Martin Canada. “Building on 80 years of dedication to the Canadian Armed Forces, we anticipate leveraging our team’s skills and experience, particularly in world-class simulation and training systems. This partnership intertwines industry-leading technology with Canadian proficiency for a crucial land training capability in Canada for many years to come.”
Lockheed Martin Training and Logistics Solutions is a premier provider of Army training solutions globally, including the world’s two largest virtual collective training systems—the U.S. Army’s Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) and the UK Combined Arms Tactical Trainer (UK CATT).
