Field Artillery Simulator – SIMACA

Customer

Artillery Academy, Army

Sector

Aerospace and Defense | Terrestrial

Capabilities used

  • Ballistic Model based on NABK (Nato Armaments Ballistic Kernel)
  • Graphics engine based on VBS (Virtual Battle Space)
  • HLA Protocol (High Level Architecture)
  • Servers with high graphics capacity and specific projectors for the simulation environment

Situation

The Artillery Simulator arose as a necessity for the training of the students of the Artillery Academy, due to the lack of fields for real training. Finally, it also became an instruction and training center for all the Artillery Groups of the ET.

Tasks

The solution is based on the modeling of training grounds and battlefield entities (soldiers, mechanized and armored vehicles, aircraft, IEDs, etc.) and their behavior, technical shooting capabilities.

Action

In addition to the simulation of technical capabilities (gunnery firing), in a second phase, target acquisition capabilities (Counter Battery Radar, RPAS) were implemented, as well as tactical capabilities to integrate with the maneuver unit.

Result

The evolution of this system over more than 20 years has made it a world reference in Artillery Simulation. The result is a simulator designed for the training of an Artillery Group, with all the elements involved in it (Advanced Observers, FDC Battery/Group, FSE, Line of Fire, Target Acquisition), even simulating CAS (Close Air Support) for the training of JTACs.

 

SGoSat

Family of SATCOM On The Move (SOTM) terminals for vehicular installation and stable mobile connection

SGoSat is a family of high-tech SOTM (Satellite Comms On The Move) terminals that are installed in a vehicle, providing the ability to target and maintain a stable connection to the satellite when the vehicle is in motion in any type of conditions.

The SGoSat family is composed of versatile terminals, which can be installed on any type of platform: trains and buses, military and/or government vehicles, aircraft, ships, etc. Originally designed for the military sector, SGoSat terminals are extremely reliable and robust, integrating high-performance components that comply with the most stringent environmental and EMI/EMC regulations. The product uses low-profile, high-efficiency antennas and a high-performance positioning and tracking unit, allowing the terminal to be operated anywhere in the world.

In order to meet the diverse needs of its customers, INSTER has developed single band and dual band terminals in X, Ka and Ku frequencies.

The SGoSat family of terminals can also be configured with a wide range of radomes (including ballistic options) to suit customer requirements.
