SINGAPORE: Second Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen launched the
latest addition to the Singapore Armed Forces’ range of training
simulators on Friday.
The Infantry Gunnery and Tactical Simulator consist of a
Commander Tactical Trainer and a Support Weapons Simulator.
The Commander Tactical Trainer allows commanders to practise
battlefield planning, coordination and execution before an actual
field exercise.
It allows for different levels of training with insertions like
'enemy’ forces and other real—time battlefield developments.
The Support Weapons Simulator is used by soldiers to acquire and
hone their gunnery skills.
The simulator has been used since the beginning of this year,
and about 14,000 are expected to use it every year for training. —
