Saab has been awarded an approximately $20.3 million contract from the Norwegian army for development and serial deliveries of the new generation GAMER vehicle simulators, a dual simulator training system.
“Norway is an important market for Saab. We will deliver a very advanced military training system for vehicles that will have the best training effect.” said Henrik Höjer, Head of Saab Training & Simulation.
The BT46 two-way simulator is unique, in that it that can be adapted to meet a huge variation of needs, the company said in a statement. A two-way simulator has the ability to simulate the ballistics and time of flight of a projectile in real time, with a high level of precision and simultaneously give immediate and realistic feedback to the gunner and the target.
Saab has supplied live training equipment for the Norwegian Combat Training Center since 2003 and this order will enhance their training capabilities for live training.
