Munich,
November 17th, 2010 - German KMW Training & Simulation
has been selected by the Norwegian Armed Forces to deliver
the BATSIM® Classroom for the main battle tank LEOPARD
2. The BATSIM® Classroom provides state of the art
combat training on serious games level and offers maximum
of realism. The system runs on commercial-off-the-shelf
(COTS) desktop computers. KMW Training & Simulation
will deliver the BATSIM® Classroom simulators to the
Norwegian Armed Forces in 2011. |
BATSIM®
Classroom is a milestone in military simulation Driven
by KMW´s unique knowledge - deriving from over 30
years of development into high-end combat simulation -
and the quantum leap of commercial computer and graphic
board development, KMW Training & Simulation has condensed
its combat simulation software to fit and run on a single
COTS Desktop PC. As a result, it will be available to
an even larger number of trainees.
As Dr. Dirk Schmidt, Senior Vice President Training &
Simulation for KMW, commented “This is a milestone
in military simulation because with the BATSIM® Classroom
a desktop simulation system is available which combines
KMW´s expertise as a leading manufacturer of main
battle tanks and of a proven simulation framework fielded
in many armies worldwide. Our customers will appreciate
the plug and play networking of our new BATSIM® Classroom
with their existing high-end simulators”. The BATSIM®
Classroom for LEOPARD 2 has been developed in close cooperation
with experienced tank training experts to match their
exact requirements.
