FORC3 will draw upon its companions’ world expertise and cutting-edge applied sciences to essentially rework operational coaching for the Canadian Military. Every proposed simulation centre will create extremely practical artificial environments that replicate the longer term land working surroundings. Canadian forces will prepare as they may combat and the place they may combat, encountering digital adversaries posing a full vary of hybrid, standard, and rising threats. Inside these simulated operational eventualities, Canadian troopers may have entry to classy analytical instruments to take advantage of coaching to the fullest. The LVCTS will turn out to be a key enabler in coaching for adaptive dispersed operations, the Canadian Military’s capstone working idea.
With FORC3’s workforce, the LVCTS program’s advantages shall be felt throughout Canada. The mission will convey trendy applied sciences to the nation’s industries and create new and enduring high-quality jobs on the 5 simulation centres. As a member of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Enterprise (CCAB), Rheinmetall Canada is dedicated to together with Aboriginal companies in its provide chains for the mission. Moreover, the LVCTS mission gives important environmental advantages as conventional discipline coaching makes means for simulated operations hosted in carbon-neutral buildings. The 5 custom-built simulation centres will allow progressive coaching on the particular person, crew, platoon, and better echelon ranges utilizing high-fidelity trainers, medium-fidelity reconfigurable trainers and normal trainee workstations mixed with a strong digital surroundings and complete tutorial system.
