Elbit Systems is unveiling a new version of the Tactical Battle Ground Trainer (TBT) at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in Orlando, Florida. Elbit Systems' fourth-generation TBT introduces several groundbreaking features and technological improvements that meet the current and future training requirements of land force commanders and staff.

Recent improvements to the TBT's interface include: upgraded C4I hardware and software elements, enhanced visual displays and computer-based 3G imaging capabilities, and integration of advanced post-mission analysis and debriefing tools that can be synchronized across multiple locations. In addition, enhanced Computer Generated Forces (CGF), platforms, munitions and weapon systems have been added to provide a truly-realistic Virtual and Constructive training arena that is up-to-date with modern militaries' operational capabilities. These CGFs and virtual replicas encompass modern Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs); mini Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) – based on Elbit Systems' combat-proven Skylark I-LE; simulation of new protection technologies and simulation of advanced Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detection systems.

The TBT, which was developed in close cooperation with the IDF land forces and which has been operational for more than a decade, provides an extremely high-degree of flexibility and situational awareness at all tactical levels of command – ranging from the company level to complete ORBAT at battalion and brigade levels. Through its unique 'train as you fight' concept, the comprehensive simulation platform allows battle group leaders to acquire tactical doctrines and to sharpen their command and control skills while practicing various procedures, implementing C4I usage, and conducting mission-rehearsal and shared tactical training exercises within an actual geo-specific terrain.

"We have specifically adjusted the TBT to keep up with the complex and ever-changing operational environment of the IDF's land forces" said Alon Afik, VP Training and Simulation Business Line at Elbit Systems Aerospace Division. "Due to its interoperable open architecture, scalability and ease-of-use, the TBT training platform offers an ideal solution for virtually any modern land force. Unlike other available platforms, TBT is not limited to a particular set of simulation elements, rather enables integration and reconfiguration of cutting-edge technologies within existing C4I systems and fighting procedures, as is evident in the IDF's TBT. This means military customers can save valuable time and money, while maintaining maximum multi-force interoperability and combat readiness. This is why major armies around the world already express interest in the training platform”.
