Saab Unveils New Training Solutions

During the training and simulation event I/ITSEC 2019 in Orlando, Florida, Saab revealed Beyond Live, the latest iteration of military training where traditional live is blended with traditional virtual training, adding new weapon types to the training field; such as solutions for indirect fire, non-line-of-sight capabilities and Mixed Reality exercise control.

Beyond Live training combines the realism of high accuracylive training together with virtual training. For the first time, Saab isdemonstrating non-line-of-sight capabilities such as “fire & observe”missiles. These new indirect fire solutions are integrated with the exercisecontrol “EXCON” where the users can plan, execute, control and evaluatemilitary training exercises. A new function in EXCON is Microsoft’s HoloLensSandbox, which enables a real-time 3D tracking of every participant in theexercise. The One World Terrain from Vricon provides photo-realistic 3D maps.

“By combining the technical benefits from a combination oftraditional live and virtual training and blending this, Saab is able toprovide the next step of training capability to our customers with even moreeffective training and simulation capabilities. Our Sandbox is a revolution, itliterally opens up a whole new dimension for after action review and analyse oftraining activities,” says Åsa Thegström, head of business unit Training &Simulation at Saab’s business area Dynamics.
