Simlat Ltd has announced delivery to a European customer of a newly introduced maritime training capability as an upgrade to its UAS Simulation System (Simlat's STS–Pro). This new capability provides a wide range of cutting-edge maritime scenarios, including, but not limited to, a variety of island and seashore terrains, marinas, harbors, vehicles and combatants.

Simlat's maritime UAS training solution rises to the challenge of the growing global demand for better maritime security. Whether the threat is piracy on the high seas, harbour/inland waterways security, shore defence, tracking illegal movements of material and people, or special forces operations, Simlat’s STS–Pro is an appropriate training solution.

'We are proud to provide our customers with the versatility of training for maritime, ground and urban scenarios, all in one system,' says Elad Zurgil, STS-Pro product manager. 'This is a vital tool for customers who strive to obtain optimal performance at low cost of ownership in various situations by training their operators in a realistic environment.'

Simlat emphasises the ability to customise its training system to meet the specific needs of the customer by providing easily configurable terrain and sea modelling, training theatres, and specific relevant targets.

Simlat's maritime training capability will be featured at the upcoming AUVSI 2009 event in Washington, DC, taking place on 11-13 August.
