The trainer
is designed for training battalion and brigade headquarters
in a full spectrum of operations, including military missions
training and operations other than war combined with the
civilian sector operations.
The unique system is designed for training battalion and
brigade-sized headquarters and provides users with a trainer
for the widest variety of fighting scenarios - both low

settings (OOTW: Operations Other Than War). It also enables
training for Civilian Military Cooperation (CIMC), for
example with municipal authorities, police and medical
organizations such as the Red Cross.

The system combines full training with
qualitative debriefing. The simulation takes place within
the operational headquarters and is connected to Command,
Control and Communications systems. The advanced High Level
Architecture (HLA) enables compatibility of the training
with the specific needs of every trainee. With the help
of user friendly interface and advanced artificial intelligence,
the trainer also enables minimal use of personnel and thus
saves training costs as well.
Yoram Shmuely, Co-General Manager of Elbit Systems' Aerospace
Division, said: "We are proud of the fact that the
Royal Netherlands Army has chosen our system, further strengthening
the position of Elbit Systems as a world leader in the field
of advanced training solutions. CST marks a milestone in
Elbit Systems wide range of high end tactical training solutions,
enabling land, airborne and naval commanders to practice
command and control and decision making doctrines. We expect
that this contract with the Netherlands, which is considered
one of the leading countries in NATO, will lead to additional
customers throughout the world".
Elbit Systems operates across the entire market of military
Training and Simulation systems, in Israel and throughout
the world, relying on its advanced technological capabilities,
particularly in the area of software for complex project
systems, and as a world leader in the upgrade of military
platforms.
