Tank simulation is vital for training drivers as large areas need to be set aside for live training to take place. A variety of databases instead allows for the re-creation of a wide range of locations and allows the practise of night manoeuvres without waiting for darkness. XPI Simulation provides simulation for tank gunnery and tank driving.For individual training such as tank driving, the simulators allow the students to drive the tank along rough terrain in varying visibility conditions. For tank gunner training, the simulators allow the students to practice the acquisition, recognition, tracking, engagement and destruction of targets.

XPI Simulation offers flexible solutions from desk top trainers to full mission tank simulators that can be networked. These systems are HLA compliant, providing interoperability with other training systems. XPI Simulation also offers very high detail databases as well as replicating atmospheric conditions such as fog, sand storms and snow. With reduced visibility, sensor simulation (thermal and NVG) is also often required. XPI Simulation is able to replicate these effects with its own sensor simulation product, SimView.

At XPI Simulation, we have access to a comprehensive library of visual effects essential for accurate tank simulation. These include realistic weapon effects, bow waves, fire and smoke effects and ricochet. The tank sims also replicate vehicle and weapon sounds which further add to the realism.

XPI Simulation won a multi-million dollar contract to supply a Far Eastern Army with tank driving and tank gunnery trainers. The contract was for over 100 channels of visual systems and included NVG simulation.
