Training Simulators for complex Defence Equipment are a technological need because of the constraints posed by conventional training. Be it Aircrafts, Tanks, Artillery Equipment, EW Equipment, Ships, Submarines, Military Vehicles, Missile Launchers or Command and Control Centres, training in Operations and Maintenance is a mandatory requirement for successful deployment and utilization of the equipment.

Class room training is insufficient and instructor dependent.

Training on actual equipment is extremely expensive and there is a risk of damage to equipment.

Many a times, deployment of equipment is not feasible because of physical constraints, for e.g., a     person cannot be fully trained on Fire Control Systems because actual firing cannot be initiated.

Multiple battlefield scenarios are not available during training exercises and conduct of training exercises is limited to a few    operations/scenarios.

Simulators can cover entire gamut of training - offline CBT, Operations Training, Maintenance Training and Online Assessment

Simulators are cost-effective as multiple deployment and exercise conduct costs savings are enormous

Simulators can not only replicate MMI but also can play scenarios and are responsive to trainees actions

Multiple battlefield scenarios, both static and dynamic (responsive to actions), can be created and played back to trainees

Simulators are repeatable - You can repeat an exercise to check where operations went wrong

These are used for replicating MMI of equipment panels or screens to enable training on operations/ maintenance. Generally, these are for a single subsystem / equipment. Examples: UHF Receiver Simulator, Fire Control Panel Simulator.

These are used in environments where multiple subsystems/systems are interfaced with each other and work in an integrated manner. Examples are Integrated Command and Control Systems Simulators, Integrated EW Ops Simulators.

Aircraft Simulator, Tank Simulator, Gunnery Simulators.
