Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
MASS has supported the Royal Air Force (RAF)-led exercise Eagle Warrior at the RAF College in Cranwell, the company announced on 12 January.
More than 200 personnel took part in the exercise, as part of an annual series of 'horizon-scanning' events run by air command to shape, test and review RAF capability development.
Eagle Warrior tested different platforms and concepts in a wargame-based environment.
MASS facilitated the exercise under its Joint Warfare Support contract, with partner DXC. The company provided a classified local area network (LAN) capability as part of the exercise information management structure.
The LAN was installed, deployed and operated at Cranwell delivering capability throughout the main wargame and also during a wargame planning event carried out earlier in the year.
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
The company will operate in two new locations in the coming years to better support US services.
This type of tool provides more realistic training easing the incorporation of new scenarios that accurately represent the threats of the battlefield.
The Engineering Corps has been conducting individual instruction using FLAIM Systems’ Sweeper and should start collective deployments in 2025.
The next-generation platform is motion-compatible and can be used in OTW and NVG applications.
The system can be used to prepare soldiers for both drone offensive operations and CUAS missions.
