ECA Group announces 2nd contract for Military Vehicle Training Simulators

ECA Group was awarded new contract by same customer in Middle East (See press release January 16th 2014) for the supply of Military Vehicle Simulator (MVS) driving simulators for 3 additional schools. The amount of the contract is significant for the group.

The customer is very satisfied with the quality and efficiency of training carried out on the first three schools delivered by ECA Group. As a consequence, this customer decided to award ECA Group with this new contract.

Each of them is equipped with 5 MVS simulators and one instructor station. All of them are connected on the same simulation training system to ensure the training of the military vehicle crews for individual as well as collective driving.

On MVS simulators, instructors and trainees can run training cursus adapted for each of the following levels: Initial driving, advanced driving and collective driving, Thanks to these very performant and wide cursus, the crews trained with MVS can carry out their operational mission with better confidence, safety and efficiency.

ECA Group has been for long a major actor on driving simulators for commercial markets having thus a long experience in implementing the adapted training program for having trainees progressively integrating the different skills required for driving. Combining this experience and its long experience in technical solutions for Defence, ECA Group developed this new family of simulators for Defence combining advanced educational methods with realistic military interface and environment.

This new contract confirms that ECA Group is now an actor bringing smart and efficient solutions on the Defence Training Simulation market estimated over 50 million euros per year.
