Joint Fire Support Team Trainer (JFSTT)
Realistic and flexible combat trainingThe challenge
The challenges in military training are many and complex. Training Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) is particularly demanding. JTACs play a crucial role in directing air strikes and must therefore be highly skilled and knowledgeable.
Simulators provide valuable support in this context. By using NATO-certified training solutions, JTACs can train in a realistic environment without incurring high costs or facing resource constraints. Although the acquisition of simulators is expensive, the savings they provide far outweigh the costs.
Furthermore, the availability of resources in a military environment is often limited. By using simulators, JTACs can train in a controlled environment without tying up resources.
Our solution
The Joint Fire Support Team (JFST) training simulator is used to train mounted and dismounted forces in all relevant JFST procedures. Trainees practise making quick decisions and performing multiple tasks simultaneously in critical situations under high physical stress.
The JFSTT uses a dome, various mock-ups and virtual reality goggles to provide realistic scenarios. Different variants – procedure trainer, action trainer, simulator networks – are available to train individual actions or entire procedures. With our solution that uses mock-ups, entire teams can train simultaneously and under real-life conditions to optimise their procedures.
Various stations – for instructors, briefing/debriefing, terrain and mission planning – can be integrated to train and qualify specialists such as Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) or fire control personnel.
