BVR Systems (1998) Ltd. (Bulletin Board:BVRSF.OB) today announced a contract valued at $10.1 million for the provision of an air defense simulator for an international customer.
The air defense simulator consists of a high-end graphical display system projected over dual 14m diameter domes, each simulator enabling the mounting of various SHORAD weapons. The simulator administration is conducted using dedicated instructor stations and a debriefing auditorium.
During a simulation, trainees operate realistic mockups of the SHORAD weapon systems within a simulated training environment, projected on the domes, while their actions are monitored and reviewed by the instructors. After completion of the scenario, the trainees' progress to a debriefing session, where a comprehensive review of the exercise is performed featuring an advanced analysis and scoring capability.
