Bethel Finance news:

Elbit Systems Ltd. unveiled its armored driving trainer and forward observer trainer simulators at the I/ITSEC 2011 modeling, simulation and training conference in Orlando, and will supply several of them to the IDF. The company said that the size of the order was immaterial.

The IDF, like other armies, has been investing heavily in simulators, in an effort to cut costs while retaining combat readiness of its troops. The armored driving trainer simulator will train drivers on a variety of vehicles, and forward observer trainer simulators are for surveillance and observation border operations.

Elbit Systems said that its armored driving trainer was designed to provide trainee drivers with a realistic driving experience under fire in combat conditions, as well as for routine operations. The system can simulate extreme driving conditions, including stormy weather, poor visibility, off-road conditions, including mud and ice, and difficult terrain.

The forward observer trainer was designed to meet the needs of border protection scenarios. It can simulate real-life battlefield situations for forward observers posted along all types of terrain, performing border control and protection. It is interoperable with C4I systems, including fire planning, ranging and field operation as well as target detection, recognition, identification, acquisition and engagement using day and night sensors.
