Patria Nemo training simulator – new features on display
Patria Nemo training simulator provides a realistic, virtual training environment for all kinds of fire missions that can be performed with Patria Nemo mortar system. The simulator combines virtual training with actual Nemo hardware and software that is installed in a cabin simulating the Nemo commander’s or gunner’s position in the vehicle. The equipment consists of the hardware and software used in the Nemo system, such as software applications for controlling the turret and firing, control grip, operating panels and displays.
Overall the simulator concept includes the Gunner Commander Station (GCS), the Instructor/Operator Station (IOS) and optionally a Loader’s Training Station (LTS).
At DSEI the GCS and IOS will be on display. The IOS, used for student monitoring and exercise management, also has a new feature called event based student tracking. With this feature, overall training procedures can be further divided into individual events to be performed by students, for example the loading or triggering of the weapon. The status and completion level can then be monitored on the IOS student tracking display and feedback be given either live or during a post-training analysis.
Experience the new 40°, 50 ° and 60° image intensifiers and Millog LISA target acquisition system
Millog has launched three new VVLITE Image Intensifiers with 40°, 50 ° and 60° field of view, designed for a wide range of night operations. All models increase soldiers´ situational awareness of environment and allow for rapid and safer movement during military operations. In addition, versions of all three models are also available without their own power source – these use a centralized power source. The audience gets a chance to test them in a night environment room, specially built for experiencing the features of the devices.
The Millog LISA hand-held target acquisition and observation system is a versatile monocular thermal imager with capability for range measurement and target acquisition. LISA’s main features are an uncooled thermal imager, direct-view day channel, eye safe LRF, digital magnetic compass, GPS, wireless connection, C4I connectivity, image capture with target information and CCD camera. Being lightweight, accurate, and user-friendly, LISA is designed for use by forward observation squads, infantry, and special units.
