Immersive close combat training technology company 4GD has been awarded a contract to supply its SimStriker smart urban warfare training target to the British Army’s 16 Air Assault Brigade in Colchester.
The British Army will receive ten smart targets, marking the first delivery of SimStriker by 4GD.
While 4GD grapples with the global microchip supply shortage that imposes challenges in delivering contracts across the whole industry, the British Army is expected to begin training its soldiers on the SimStrikers before the end of this year, 4GD operations director Matthew Harrison told Shephard on 27 April during IT2EC 2022
