Live Tactical Engagement
Simulation Systems
GDI Simulation offers a comprehensive range of instrumented simulation systems designed to enable highly realistic live training exercises in outdoor environments, replicating real combat conditions as closely as possible.
Based on one-way and bi-directional laser engagement technologies, optionally enhanced with virtual simulation layers, our systems accurately model: simulated munitions ballistics, time of flight and target vulnerability matrices
Interactions between firing and target systems allow precise assessment of firing accuracy and real-time damage evaluation, ensuring a highly realistic battlefield environment during training exercises.
The product range covers: Infantry equipment, armored vehicles and tanks, heavy machine guns (HMG), missile systems (anti-tank and surface-to-surface), Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), grenades, counter-UAV systems, sniper systems, exercise control and adjudication systems
