This cooperation aims to promote the development of innovative simulation solutions that are crucial for modern combat training. BISim’s VBS4 and Blue IG products will be integrated for the first time in the 'Heavy Infantry Weapons Carrier' project by developing state-of-the-art firing and combat simulators to train the German Army's Medium Forces.
 
In a world where the demands on military training methods are becoming increasingly complex, realistic and flexible simulation technologies are essential. By combining BISim’s expertise in the development of simulation technologies with Rheinmetall’s extensive know-how in military systems, a new level of training and simulation capabilities is created.
 
Rahul Thakkar, President of BISim said: "BISim’s technology empowers the warfighter to operate with machine-like speed and unmatched confidence to enable decision dominance on the battlefield.
