This simulator will be operational in two places: Resende (Rio de Janeiro) and Santa Maria (Rio Grande do Sul). The sophisticated software of SIMAF reproduces scenarios based on real geographical images with a photographic texture and includes buildings, roads, rivers, bridges, etc. Operations are simulated on these scenarios with great realism, that is enhanced by a quadraphonic sound system. Since all the conditions of the operations are realistically reproduced, the simulator is an excellent tool of instruction and training.

It should also be pointed out that our activity during the last years, was very good for us because we have consolidated our leadership in Duel Simulation, making this kind of simulation an essential tool for the instruction and the training in precision shooting and combat training tactics.

The system is made of an ensemble of detectors and laser transmitters that are installed on the platform you want to train with; a tank or the obligatory equipment of the Individual Combatant. The training exercise is carried out according to a common shooting training, but the real ammunition is replaced by laser elements, providing total effectiveness to the training.

By using the duel simulators in the tactical exercises, all the elements that would intervene in a real situation, interact; even the tension of the real combat is present by removing the high cost of the real ammunition and without degrading the environment.

At present, these systems are used for the training with the tanks, as the ones of the Spanish Army: Pizarro and Leopard, as well as the units that improve their training in the National Training Center San Gregorio.
