ITEC 2015: RUAG - Always at the Forefront of Live Training Technology

RUAG Defence, the Swiss specialist in Simulation and Training technology, used last year's I/ITSEC to display its latest developments in mobile training solutions. The same is being done at LAAD 2015.


Mobile Training requires flexibility for the trainer and the latest solutions by RUAG Defence are providing just that. RUAG has created an application that puts the advantages of the stationary/fixed Exercise Control (EXCON) plus special mobility adaptations, in the hands of the trainer in the field. Smart resizing of existing EXCON features and significant add-ons for mobile training, such as mobile (helmet) camera integration and a smart map handling function, allow the trainer to effectively prepare, conduct and debrief the exercises of their troops. The mobile EXCON solution takes highly mobile CTC (Combat Training Centre) and MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) training solutions to the next level of optimization.



The current Precise-Tracking-System (PTS) provided by RUAG Defence is one of the most accurate Tracking-Systems for MOUT training solutions on the market. Never complacent, RUAG has implemented a new approach to indoor tracking of participants using an autonomous 3D positioning and navigation solution provided by AIONAV (Autonomous Indoor and Outdoor NAVigation). The AIONAV System is based on an “Inertial Sensor Unit” mounted on the participant’s leg. The sensor integrates the current position, the measured movement of the participant plus other inputs to provide an accurate position of the player by utilising a sophisticated algorithm. The AIONAV solution optimises mission training by combining; high mobility, precision and low costs. As the AIONAV is based on standalone technology it can be seamlessly integrated into both RUAG and 3rd party CTC/MOUT training systems.



RUAG’s live training solutions cover everything from individual soldiers through to complex MOUT (Mobile Operations in Urban Terrain) installations. The foundation of RUAG’s offering is the GLADIATOR Man Worn Unit. It comprises of a helmet unit, an integrated harness unit and a laser unit. Together they enable fire and movement training for individual soldiers through to a whole brigade. Participants learn using GLADIATOR personal weapon handling, individual and group ground tactics and operational techniques.
