A notable highlight of the exhibit is a live cabin-based simulator of a Cockerill C3105 turret, drawing significant attention at the John Cockerill Defense stand. These simulators represent the latest high-end addition to the Agueris family, which already includes virtual gunnery trainers, embedded simulators, and virtual maintenance trainers.

Agueris, a division of John Cockerill Defense, offers a comprehensive range of high-fidelity training simulators tailored for military applications. These simulators are meticulously designed to address various training needs, thereby enhancing the operational readiness and effectiveness of military personnel. Among their offerings are the cabin-based training simulators, which feature highly representative cabins mounted on motion platforms. These simulators create a realistic training environment, covering crew-level driving and gunnery technical training up to platoon-level tactical training, thus preparing military personnel for diverse operational challenges.

In addition to the cabin-based simulators, Agueris provides virtual gunnery trainers that offer immersive environments for soldiers to practice their gunnery skills. These trainers replicate real-life weapon systems, enabling trainees to enhance their accuracy and efficiency within a safe, controlled setting. Another innovative solution from Agueris is the embedded simulators, which are integrated into actual military vehicles. These simulators allow for on-the-go training, helping personnel to become adept with the vehicle’s controls and systems in real-world scenarios.

Furthermore, Agueris offers virtual maintenance trainers designed to impart maintenance procedures and skills. These trainers provide interactive, detailed training modules that assist technicians in learning how to maintain and repair various military equipment and systems. The new high-fidelity cabin-based simulators unveiled at Eurosatory 2024 exemplify the latest advancements in this technology, offering highly immersive and comprehensive training solutions tailored for modern military forces.

The unveiling comes on the heels of a significant merger between Agueris and John Cockerill Defense France on January 1, 2023. This merger underscores John Cockerill Defense France's ambition to become a recognized leader in supporting the French and Belgian Land Forces, reinforcing its commitment to the French Defence Industrial and Technological Base.

This strategic operation aims to solidify John Cockerill Defense's position in the realm of next-generation simulators, essential for training forces with new materials. The merger enhances synergies between the two entities within the John Cockerill Group, bolstering their capabilities in production, weapon systems commissioning, and the critical sector of training simulators.

By integrating the complementary activities of Agueris and John Cockerill Defense, the company is poised to offer an even more robust and structured approach to defense training solutions, ensuring strategic importance and advanced technological support for military forces.
