Elbit Command trainer for Netherlands army officers

Elbit Systems Ltd. has announced today that it was awarded a contract to supply an advanced training and simulation solution for the Royal Netherlands Army. The system will be supplied during 2011. The system is designed for training battalion and brigade-sized headquarters and provides users with a trainer for the widest variety of fighting scenarios - both low and high intensity conflicts and for other non-military settings (OOTW: Operations Other Than War). It also enables training for Civilian Military Cooperation (CIMC), for example with municipal authorities, police and medical organizations such as the Red Cross. The system combines full training with qualitative debriefing. The simulation takes place within the operational headquarters and is connected to Command, Control and Communications systems. The advanced High Level Architecture (HLA) enables compatibility of the training with the specific needs of every trainee. Yoram Shmuely, Co-General Manager of Elbit Systems' Aerospace Division, said: "We are proud of the fact that the Royal Netherlands Army has chosen our system, further strengthening the position of Elbit Systems as a world leader in the field of advanced training solutions”.
